Pros

Medical insurance is paid for employee only (at base level). Holidays off. Generous amount of paid sick time.

Cons

Company culture encourages being two faced, doing the bare minimum, blaming others. HR is worthless. Payroll is incompetent. The company masks its incompetencies by piling more work on capable employees. Poorly addresses office spats (which happen frequently when people do not do their jobs). The pay is lousy. Upper management does a poor job addressing issues.
