Pros

Competitive pay Decent benefits Good people Technology upgrades for all (I just received a new top of the line Dell)

Cons

No career advancement opportunities unless you are willing to be a "Yes Man" Management fears LaFetra so they won't make waves The company is stuck in a 1980's mentality and management styles Very myopic leadership from the "Directors" People leave or get fired and their positions are not filled. The remaining skeleton crew is forced to take the new responsibilities but do not receive compensation. This leads to a domino effect of resignations.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
