Pros

-401k match -a great entry level position -a start to understanding the industry

Cons

-pay is not competitive for the job and position duties are set to change drastically without asking and often without a promotion or merit increase -hard to grow within department. Must work many areas to go back to original department to move up -fast growing company to a fault. Lots of kinks around trying to work out acquisitions and how systems and teams work together
