Pros

The work/life balance is execellent. So is the company culture. I love that this is a family oriented company who understands that employees have lives outside of work. The office hours are great! You can't beat 8:30 AM to 4:15 PM! Summer Fridays is a bonus as well and I feel that the company does think about employee retirement and does a lot to ensure that employees have a good income even once they retire.

Cons

The salary is ok, but it could be a bit higher in New York since the cost of living is so high.

Pros

Excellent community of colleagues. Supportive culture. Plenty of opportunity for those prepared to work hard and be flexible about where the company wants to place you.

Cons

High alignment culture means that things can move very slowly. IT & Technical systems are old and high control which makes it difficult to keep pace with outside world. Salary and benefit programs are very rigid. Work by rule rather than guiding principles and logic, eg terrible vacation policy which management recognizes but won't change.
