Pros

-good pay -decent management -cool "gifts" and such -professional workplace -probably the best 401k match you'll find anywhere (25%)

Cons

-HR lacks in communication periodically -it was expected the employee would pay for their out of town expenses and be reimbursed the following pay period most of the time -quick to jump to conclusions about work production with no consideration of obstacles that might slow you down -minimal room for growth in survey department
