Pros

Benefits are good Good travel perks People are nice Training courses The company allows employees to use flex time when working, you can kind of pick your schedule, as long as you get your work done your manager will be satisfied.

Cons

Pay is sub par for entry level employees out of university Office is out dated Extremely conservative work place The office looks like its from the 70's, the furniture is old, outdated and in poor condition most of the time. The managers/directors are getting raises constantly while the employees do not.
