Pros

A good work life balance. Very flexible hours, decent management at the lower levels. Good benefits (although you will pay for them).

Cons

Upper management has no real clue of what is happening in the trenches. Pay is on the low end of the salary range for a position. Merit increases almost non-existent, pay increases minimal if they occur at all. After 8 years I was at my same effective salary as 7 years prior. Benefits are tiered, so someone making half as much as you will pay half as much for coverage. Charges for spouse even if you pay for a family plan.

Pros

Good benefits including 401(k) with company match.

Cons

Unrealistic workload. The pay does not match the amount of stress that comes from the amount of work given. They are hiring new employees for the same role offering about $30k-$40k more than they pay those who have been there for years instead of compensating current employees fairly. Management is out of touch. They are so focused on numbers that they cannot clearly see the internal issues that are compromising relationships with customers.
