Pros

- The people are great to work with, and that cannot be understated. - Every other Friday off is great.

Cons

- Workflow, tools, and code are antiquated, to put it very nicely. - Massive levels of technical debt impair current and future projects, and management is okay with that. - Unhealthy focus on adding new features over fixing, testing old features. - Developers aren't given the tools to succeed. - Workflow is a mess, and all attempts at improving it are met with resistance. - Code is so terrible in some places, you start to wonder if it's intentional. - Developer feedback and ideas to management are largely ignored. - Not afraid to run the talent they have into the ground. - Most of the work is done by a few very talented people. - Overtime pay for direct hires is paltry. - High turnover rate. - New employee training takes way too long.

Pros

Both pay and benefits were good.

Cons

Both Management and the Union need to be overhauled. Union has too many dead beets working there and too many stupid rules to boot. Kinda like a Good ol' boys theme. Management is clueless, they like to fly by the seat of their pants. When things go wrong ( and that's usually always) they are quick to put the blame on the Employee. A lot of cut throats there, you have to watch your back constantly. Stay away if possible!!!
