Pros

If you like to figure things out on your own, fly by the seat of your pants, this employer is for you.

Cons

Very expensive 401K plan, would love it if they would switch to Vanguard. Some of the employees that have been here for years ignore emails and phone calls. When there is a storm, hold on to your hat, schedules change and everything is an expedite or else!. More levels of VP's and Directors than I thought possible.
