Pros

The money is reasonable as are the hours. Although you are encouraged to put in more than 40 hrs, I don't see that it gets you ahead in the company--it's more likely a matter of knowing the right people. The vacation time is great as long as you don't get sick often---sick time counts against PTO (You will get 4 weeks paid vacation and 7 holidays your very first year, along with weekends (only management is expected to take work home). Health benefits are OK, but progressively going downhill. Work load is fair and time constraints are reasonable.

Cons

Not very challenging or mentally rewarding. You don't feel you have accomplished a whole lot when you have finished an assigned task. There is a lot of redundancy and 'busy work' which contributes to this feeling. There aren't a lot of good opportunities for advancement. While you may 'someday' have a shot at being middle management, that doesn't seem very desirable. They work long hours and probably earn less per hour than the people they supervise. Upper management is well compensated but you will generally toil away for 2 decades or more before you get there. This company is better as a way of getting started off in your career than a place you would actually want to stay. Get the 3-5 yrs needed for your resume and move on. Also, the sick time counting as PTO is a stupid policy that encourages people to show up to work sick and spread their germs.
