Pros

Laid back, management leaves you alone for the most part, you can listen to music with headphones, fun work.

Cons

Upper management doesn't seem to care that people leave the company and so most people don't get paid what they should be getting paid. It's hard to move up the chain and it's even harder to substantially increase your wages.
