      Pros

      Good if you like the Midwest. Job security. Somewhat relaxed work environment. There is good work to be done. Good benefits.

      Cons

      Pay is not so good. Chaotic development style. No vision in high management. No technical career path. No reward system. No one ever gets fired.

      Pros

      Great products, everything is done in house which makes outsourcing not such a constant worry. Overall a very satisfying place to work.

      Cons

      Location and sometimes hours can be long. Benefits I feel are above average. everyone is very nice and helpful. Interview process to offer is very long.

      It all depends on which location you work at.

      Pros

      There are great benefits. There are different shift options available so that if you don't want to do the standard 9-5, you can pick and choose your shift. Expectations are generally pretty low for the first six months while you get your feet under you.

      Cons

      There are a lot of unknown "known issues". Information is coveted and it takes a lot to get information for upper support staff and management. First tier support are considered to be technical support, but 90% lack the training to be anything more than product support. A perfect example is when a customer says the word "Mac". Even if the issue has nothing to actually do with the Mac itself, calls will be transferred. Finally, expect to act as tech support for grandma and grandpa. Most customers have little to no experience with a computer and many litteraly are grandparents. If you don't like supporting senior citizens, this isn't the job for you.
