Pros

This company and industry offers a wealth of learning opportunity. The people here are all good resources to learn from due to the maturity of the industry. Enough can't be said about the positive influence the people here have had on the development of the industry. Bonuses and compensation incentives.

Cons

Management is slow to recognize problems and react. There is a short term view approach more often, where a long term solution is passed over. Prone to low moral due to competitive nature of the business; compensation and benefits are average or on the low end, with a challenging outlook for promotion. Outlook on growth of industry is low.

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
