Pros

Great place to work, great ESOP plan for retirement. Great tuition reimbursement program.

Cons

Can be hard not having paid federal holidays. Every two weeks they give 8 hours of PTO which is nice, but that has to be used for holidays, PTO, and sick leave, Might be better to have more structured leave with vacation/sick leave/holidays.
