Pros

Good compensation, decent potential for career opportunities if one makes the right connections, job security

Cons

To tweak a quote from "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"-"You see, in this company there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with work life balance and those who work." Managers have the tendency to play favorites and favorites get all kinds of perks like being able to come in after 9am and leave at 4pm, the option to work from home, taking whole weeks for vacation, and having little supervision (multiple 20 minute coffee breaks, chatting with friends, and making personal phone calls every single day). Other employees are expected to work until after 6pm (even later than some of the managers) doing the bulk of the work with no breaks and little to no vacation while being micro-managed every step of the way.

Pros

If hard work builds character... then I have a ton of it. Most of the people I worked with were great people.

Cons

OLD BOYS CLUB. Felt like I was back in college and the Frat boys ran the show yet did little of the work. Huge disconnect between upper management and what actually goes on at the branch level. Pay is terrible. Long work hours. Feel like I wasted several years of my life. I worked at 3 different branches and each branch had a bad attitude about the company.

Pros

Lots of technologies that you might use briefly. All the bad ones, implemented poorly, live on forever; the good ones go to die on the shelf. They joke about it! It's really sad, but the sales guys love it. Outside software sales that is. And the managers get taken out for lunch a lot too.

Cons

Management is thick and deep, and thick as a brick. They don't mind spending money ($Ms) on software, but not on their people. And don't be fooled by the headquarters bldg on Jefferson; All the Geeks work in an old dept store on Warwick that is more akin to the catacombs, complete with beggars and thieves (seriously!) with HVAC (!!! They sell what?) and black mold issues to round it out. This is not how to learn IT, implement IT or treat IT folks.
