Pros

Well, they pay you. Not much, but they do pay you.

Cons

Lousy benefits, NO 401k MATCH!!!!!, a tiny amount of sick leave that you'll burn through if you catch one cold, low salaries, no work-from-home opportunities, a group of dinosaurs at the helm, regular memos insisting that you donate to particular charities, and a good-old-boy atmosphere that's just shocking in the 21st century (ladies, you're not allowed to bare your arms or toes or wear that cute jean jacket, but you'll pass twenty men a day in the halls that are dressed like slobs). One woman on the Board of Directors. Zero female executives. No interest--NONE--in employee satisfaction and development. No intranet. When I got the offer for my new job, I cried. That's how relieved I was to get out of here. Never have I worked with such nasty, punitive, MEAN people. If you're considering working here, it's fair to assume you're desperate. The culture will beat you down until you have no self-esteem, and your skills will rot because you'll never use them. You won't learn anything new, because there's no training; you won't get to know your co-workers, because there are no social events; you won't move up, because there are no career tracks. I can't believe I stayed as long as I did without screaming insanely at my desk.
