Pros

Pretty good benefits. Insurance is average, PTO is average, but I did get 6 weeks of parental leave (that can be used over the course of a year).

Cons

IT could be smoother in the transition we've had. We were formerly Progeny Systems but were bought by GDMS. There have been lots of network issues when migrating to the GDMS network.
