Pros

Salary, co- workers, past history as a fantastic employer (but that is long over).

Cons

Only one pay raise in five years, despite high achievements and annual reviews. Horrible Vice President. Constantly changed his mind, and then acted like his "underlings" were just stupid and had not understood what he wanted. A capricious, Machiavellian slave driver to work for. An expectation that Employees's must drop everything and live, breathe, and never sleep for BMC's benefit.
