Pros

If you live in suburbs near University Park, this is a great commute. Depending on where you are coming from, it's the reverse commute, so little traffic. Overall, the building is clean and people are pleasant. Benefits are adequate, and there are other little perks. Training classes are helpful. Great place to get experience and then move on to bigger and better career opportunities.

Cons

Salary is on the lower end. Communication is often poor. Some management is in place because of the fact that they know someone higher up. They are subsequently not always the most knowledgeable and professional at their jobs and tend to micro-manage (sometimes to the point of borderline harassment) those under them to mask the fact that they themselves are not the most qualified. Additional/longer breaks are allowed for those who smoke.

Pros

Recent college graduates experiencing difficulty in the job market would be well advised to submit an application for a position with this organization -- it can certainly lead to better opportunities.

Cons

Professionals with two or more years of experience are exceptionally under-compensated. Efforts to retain talent are minimal at best. Employees are hardly recognized for exceptional performance, even during annual reviews. Everyone must fight for raises and promotions, unless of course a personal friend holds a position in upper management in which case preferential treatment is imminent.
