Pros

Work/life balance (for my position at least), basically could clock out for the day and leave work at work - except for the existential dread I experienced each Sunday night at the thought of having to return back each Monday morning for another dreadful week. Oh, and there's a gym upstairs.

Cons

Management is divided, so when they aren't analyzing every move you make, they're fighting with one another. Major power struggle. Compensation is pretty low. Not a lot of room for growth (especially if you're in an awful, undesirable position to begin with - they'll hold on to you with a tight grip). I had friends in various departments throughout the company who equally disliked their jobs. If you're looking for a company that cares even slightly about employees, this isn't the place for you. Show up, do your mundane task each day, and don't expect much personal development.

Pros

Due to staffing on the support side (small, team of under 10) you get exposed to a lot, so can learn a lot, when you are not fire fighting to keep 5-12 year old computers running that is.

Cons

Staffing and managements lack of investment in support staff or keeping equipment that is still under support contracts. Lack of support from management team (pxi boot, old equipment, pulling teeth asking for help, just very combative environment within IT). Close to zero investment in hardware on the client facing side. pauper ducis custodi limis oculis

Get to work with a lot of great people.

They watch your every move, going to the bathroom and what you're working on.
