Pros

Lots of opporopportunity if you're fresh out of college. Non-management workers have a "We're in this together" attitude and really care about one another. Telecommuting OK. Leave matches industry standards.

Cons

Raises never match inflation, so true earning power decreases over time. Older, more senior employees are not given opportunity to move to another area and are usually the first ones out the door. Alleged reorganization is only adding layers of management, redundancy, and confusion. Legacy system replacements are many times more expensive than system being replaced and never work correctly.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
