Pros

Free food (breakfast and dinner), and it's typically delicious. Very beautiful campus. Union benefits. Nice artists

Cons

Was recently sold, so future uncertain, pay is on the low end. Can be hard to get meaningful advancements/promotions

Great company culture, good benefits, strong learning environment, beautiful campus, competitive pay.

Cons

Vacation time requires accrual, unsure about advancement in the company, not much else.

Pros

Sense of community, many laughs shared, meeting people from different departments, tranquil grounds, and, it goes without saying, the free breakfast and lunch (if you played your cards right, dinner as well). Signed cards, balloons, and a pack of cookies on your birthday. In all honesty, you felt as if you belonged.

Cons

There were a few bad apples that spoiled the barrel, your rare cases of nasty ego. Perhaps the acquisition was a good thing, in some ways it was bad. Work teams that became your family were let go. Rare chances for growth. Never received a review after repeatedly asking for one. As good as the free food, drinks, and snacks were/are you're paying for it with the low salary costs. If the freebies do eventually go away (along with the fleeting culture), be wise and ask for that needed raise.
