Pros

Flexible work schedule which allows working from home when necessary. Good benefits including health insurance, dental, etc.. The company is large enough that it gets large scale interesting projects.

Cons

Archaic vestment and promotion structure. Managers seem reluctant to promote staff professionals to avoid hiring new pro's. It also seems that the company follows an out dated model for advancement in general. For example, it appears that regardless of talent all employees are advanced up the totem pole at the same rate. Also, the company uses something they call "Half-time overtime" in which the employee is paid half of their hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 (which is very common).

Pros

The Raleigh office is a tight knit group. Really great technicians who complete their work effectively and efficiently, and are more than willing to help train newer technicians.

Cons

Schedule may be sporadic and they may have you at a different site everyday.
