Pros

Product lineup is fun. HR does a great job at planning fun employee events. Employee discount is nice.

Cons

The PD group runs the show at Horizon. If you're not one of them, it's easy to feel like a second class citizen at work. Pay lower than others in the area. Benefits very expensive compared to others in the area.
