Pros

Very lay'd back. Good place to work if salary is not of concern., Be prepared to remain in one position for a long time! Vacation time is flexible.

Cons

Salary increases few and far between, Bonus's turn on an off at the drop of the hat and the economy. No over time pay for management, weekends are a good possibility pending on the economy. bonuses range from 2-5K a year, if you get them. Lately bonus's have been stopped for most facilities because of economy.
