Pros

Great company to work for. They value investing time in the teaching and development of it's employees, while setting clear expectations on performance. Very laid back and flexible when it comes to your time, as long as you stay on top of your work. Fun, family culture with great pay and benefits.

Cons

Need a little bit more organization in terms of the initial onboarding of new employees. I personally did not have a problem picking up on things quickly, but some new employees may get lost without direction. Once you show that you are capable of doing the work they will invest in your development.

Pros

Great people, lasting friendships. Diverse work. Challenging work. Fun work atmosphere.

Cons

"Boy's Club". Women are seen as secretaries (speaking from an office perspective, not the field) Even now, after being gone for 3 years, I can see via LinkedIn that many of the men I worked with have been promoted to higher positions and EVERY female I worked with has the same exact position. Very low salary increases even after you have been told you did a great job during you review. I do not believe men were told this.
