Pros

In an area of high unemployment, I receive a steady paycheck for now.

Cons

- No merit pay increases because the budget is 'frozen,' supposedly (strange, as I know our manager is getting their yearly bonus) - Anyone who speaks up with ideas to improve the department becomes the victim of negative managerial scrutiny - Management is continually absent at best, useless at worst - Morale is down across the entire office, in every department - No job security to speak of - Employee performance is measured entirely by unrealistic metrics that have no actual bearing on the real-world work environment or actual productivity

Pros

3 weeks off per year for first year. They're willing to pay good wages to new employees. Liberal time off policy. There's a lot of activities to do in the Reno area.

Cons

Management is broken. Technical ladder was non existent so the best way for employees to move up was to move into management. The people in management do not have the skills necessary to effectively motivate and direct their employees. The problem now is that even if some of management leave or are let go, they will likely hire like minded people to replace the outgoing personel. The 401k is sad (down to a yearly $750 match). Bonuses are large if you are in management but lower employees get a pittance. The company likes to hire outside people and pay them more than existing employees doing the same job. Current CEO only knows how to cut, not how to build.
