Pros

Free Golden Tee in the break room and some really nice people scattered about. (However, for Austin there is still a very heavy "cowboy" presence)

Cons

Where to start with this... We could start with people sitting on top of each other. Or the fact the IT and software staff is just completely under-powered..... Example, they brought me a computer and left it on my desk - No cables, no drivers installed, no keyboard or mouse. The VP of development has no clue of how to run a department and it's amazing anything gets done. All in all it's pretty much the most dysfunctional place I've ever seen in action.

Pros

pretty simple day to day tasks. i got lucky and had amazing managers and co workers so once required tasks were completed we were able to work on school work or just hang out

Cons

residents and parents can be a lot to deal with and you need to be able to handle conflict. be prepared to be the buffer between them and management and learn what problems you can solve without needing managers.
