      Pros

      You're continually learning new things. Once you have grasped one concept they will introduce you to something else. The compensation packages are quite respectable in this day and age.

      Cons

      The learning curve is very steep and doesn't let up for quite some time. They provide support for learning new things, however due to the vast amount of knowledge within the company it is impossible to support people in individual ways. They send you out the door and you essentially sink or swim. You can go quite some time without actually doing the job as they might expect you to do it without even really knowing.

      Great opportunities and experience for interns seeking a strong company in the market as reviewed by a former intern.

      Pros

      I was actually an 8 month intern at the company but from the start of the second week there wasn't any distinction among co-workers other than my immediate team. You are given almost the same opportunities and respect that full time employees are given and upper management are easily accessible and it's not uncommon for an employee to sign into the office instant messaging and start up a chat from same level employees to senior management. I was fortunate to be able to go out and meet people from other departments and overall each encounter was rewarding and questions no matter how small was answered and business knowledge was always being shared. Also working in the IT department it was a great experience overall with being closely involved with new changes and deployments of hardware and applications.

      Cons

      Self motivation is definitely encouraged and those who lack that and would rather have work dumped on them will be disappointed. You have to challenge yourself to identify things you want to change and be willing to go to your manager or supervisor and express yourself and give ideas. Another downside because it's located in Rhode Island, the area and most of the employees are actually aiming for retirement and a quiet place. This in itself would be a turnoff from anyone fresh out of college looking for something enjoying outside of work. Also those looking to really use brand new technology will have to wait a bit till the company moves over since from my time there the company recently upgraded from office 2000 to office 2003. I feel software technology just takes a while to catch up but being in IT you are given opportunities to request hardware such as laptops and a development machine should you need one.
