Business Outlook

Pros

It is pretty relaxed in terms of what you wear, allowing you to leave for a doctor's appointment, and things along those lines.

Cons

The culture is defined by the arbitrary use and abuse of power. Everything is just about pleasing some boss or other, and management seldom wants to believe that underlings have anything to contribute. The pressure to work all the time--early, late, at home, etc.--can be intense. Pay is generally pretty good, but can be somewhat arbitrary from one position to the next.
