Pros

Great "pitch" of a benefit package. The package is indeed better than average as is the bonus IF you are fortunate enough to actually be one of the few employees who qualify for the yearly bonus. Pay is good but again you are EXPECTED to work during your off time in the evenings and on weekends in order to remain in the good graces of the "management team"

Cons

Very much a good ole boys system, if you aren't one of "them" you won't last long. They will weed you out. Unfair hiring practices - all jobs aren't posted so that everyone can apply for them. They slide who they want into them. Not a good work, home life balance. They talk the talk but don't actually walk the walk. Expect you to dedicate your life to the company.
