Pros

-people/co-workers, for the most part, are great. -pleasant working environment -work/life balance encouraged (but not always achievable)

Cons

-pay is low compared to industry standards -management is out of touch -career path unclear -when advancement is available, it comes at a cost; i.e. an increase in title carries additional quota. Promotions are not given based on merit or performance. -nepotism is RAMPANT- I've never seen anything like it. -exec mgmt team does what they want and not what is best for the client or employee

Pros

Work life balance is good

Cons

The company has fallen in love with itself, and lost touch with clients needs. The strategic direction is limited and unstable. They need to hire managers, and not promote high individual performers
