Pros

Great pay for position and experience. The company is willing to hire young, inexperienced employees and pay good money for them. You will learn a ton about the industry which will be beneficial for your rapidly approaching next job. Some pretty nice benefits if you actually receive them (bonuses specifically). Great history of agency inspections (FDA, DEA, etc) which customers love to see. New owners seem to take a strong interest in performance and are shaking things up. Young energetic work environment.

Cons

Next to zero work/life balance. Even good managers will eventually turn on you as the stress gets to them and this will be pushed down to lower level employees. The company is run on the basis of revenue only and ignores the quality and customer satisfaction that comes with a true "right first time" work environment. They will put a focus on earning more revenue each month instead of what makes sense for customer project milestones. Leadership is extremely near-sighted. Almost zero training for employees and what is given outside of mandatory requirements is geared towards customers, and employees don't really have time to attend due to work load. Forget earning a bonus and you'll be happy to get an annual pay increase that almost matches inflation. Prepare to feel guilty about taking time off even if you've earned it. Will always hire from external sources, so don't expect to get promoted even if the "potential" exists. Or if you do get promoted, they won't backfill your position and you will just have to take on the responsibility of both jobs then be made to feel like you are inadequate to handle them then they will probably fire you.
