Pros

Cafe in Building. Good Benefits.

Cons

Never sure about job security or performance. Be prepared every spring for layoffs, and those remaining pick up the extra work from the layoffs. Be prepared for your job title not to match your duties and those do not match your pay. If you want to move departments, they will stop you. Be prepared for sketch software or application launches. They rush to get systems launched even if they are terrible.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
