Pros

I love the work environment and nearly all the people I work with and the actual job itself

Cons

Unless you get into a commission job or upper management job you do not get paid very well. I’ve become certified on a few things and work in nearly ever department and only managed the get the same 3% yearly raise as everyone else.
