Pros

Option to work from home. Vacation days can be taken flexibly. Working hours can also be flexible at times .

Cons

High workload. Very high staff turnover. Little room for career progression and it is more about who you know rather than your work performance. Benefits are not good compared with other comparable size companies.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
