Pros

Decent health care benefits and PST. Remember they are decent not great.

Cons

Office politics will make you both frustrated and depressed. Some people work very hard while others will spend time on the Internet and believe it or not get better reviews.The flat out lies people tell you especially upper management is so bad people do not believe anything.

Pros

Progressive company, debt free, positioned for growth. Investing in their future. Good to the employees.

Cons

Pay is light. They treat you like a number. Your manager determines whether or not you can meet your goals or not. I don't like how they communicate goals. By splitting the year into two segments, they are basically asking for results every 6 months, but don't talk about year over year growth.
