Pros

Excellent benefits and perks, fun and friendly company culture. For those interested in history, job satisfaction is high - helping to preserve historic documents, and to help customers discover their family history can be rewarding. Management worked hard to provide perks to offset the often tedious work.

Cons

Pay not competitive in some departments, limited advancement opportunities, sometimes baffling promotion decisions. Company seemed to be undergoing a major restructuring, with fewer full-time and more contract positions.
