Pros

Good product, co-workers were great. Benefits were ok for me.

Cons

Like many of the posts, mgmt expects you to be at your desk 40+ hrs/week. But being at a desk doesn't mean you're productive. And like most companies, bonuses are great for senior mgmt, but dismal for staff. Favoritism was obvious and working from home wasn't even a possibility unless you are the favorite! Frustrating when you miss your deadlines because they're not important to your supervisor

Pros

The pay was decent, and you got unlimited overtime during the summer months.

Cons

There are so many. Here's a brief list: -No work/life balance -Pay was decent but not high enough for what you do -Overtime was optional but most times during the Summer months you get pressure from management to sign up -I was never able to get time off approved even with a doctor's note -The job was not as described during the interview - it ended up being a sales job
