Pros

The PTO and salary are satisfactory. Challenging work. Close to home and to restaurants. A great learning experience.

Cons

Management is oblivious to actual workloads of personel. A lot of politics everywhere in the company. A lot of backstabbing within coworkers. No development guidance whatsover, training programs are nonexistent. The only thing Senior Management cares is the big bonuses they get by exploiting their employees. The only reason I stay here is because there are almost no companies close by that would offer me the same benefits I get here.
