Pros

Health Insurance (good, but not great) Pension (I hear this is being terminated, and it no longer appears on the benefits page) Profit Sharing (Nice benefit. Retirement contributions made by company at no cost to employee) Stock Purchase Plan (Great ROI, but very slow to accumulate) Tuition Reimbursement

Cons

Salary (I nearly doubled my salary by joining another company performing the same job) Opportunity for advancement (Most fellow employees had been in the same job for 10+ years.) Deceptive Management Techniques (Your average manager makes a used car salesman seem honest. Be prepared for every excuse you can imagine when it comes to reviews/salary/promotions. I was once told that I didn't get a raise because salary is determined by title. Ok fair. Next year I was told I didn't get a promotion because title is determined by salary. Wait...What? Get everything in writing or you'll regret it later.) Feel free to learn more by working there.

Gossip is everywhere. (Like most places) FAVORITISM!!! LOTS OF IT!!!! Management can be very mean. Making fun of other people's medical disabilities, sarcastic remarks and attitudes, etc.
