Pros

Salary is decent, however.....see cons...

Cons

Those 40 and older, men are likely making more than women. Women were docked part of their annual merit increase for the time they were out of maternity. If you were out 3 months, you would only get 75% of your merit increase. This obviously has a cumulative effect.
