Pros

Flex schedule on the PO side is huge plus. Excellent benefits, almost impossible to get fired. Lots of time off and holidays. You won't be working weekends or holidays. Job actually has a pension (all be it, a meager one) that includes your health insurance from day 1 of retirement. If you get in early, a second career is a real possibility. In the end, I would not recommend working here if someone asked. Flex time is great if you have 3 kids and a spouse that makes $200K a year, but living off the salary is a real challenge.

Cons

The pay is horrific for a job that requires a minimum of a Bachelor's degree just to test. It's no wonder they can't attract qualified applicants. Also, you're dealing with some difficult people all the time. Like management. The offenders can be difficult, too.
