Pros

We use industry standard software so you are able to get good experience in that.

Cons

Hard to name all of them... Your sick time and vacation is lumped into one category PTO but its not paid time off, its personal time off which is just a nicer way to say that they don't care if your sick a few time during the year. I came into this job with 5 years of experience and got only 17 of these days which is absolutely absurd. They give you 3 floating holidays but those don't really help since you don't get designated sick days. Speaking of holidays, you only get 7 and they are the ones you can probably guess. Christmas Day, New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and possibly one other but I can't think of what it is and the list I provided might be the only ones. They don't give bonuses and the raises every year are minimal with the only way of really making more money is to get promoted but the promotions are based off of budget and project need and rarely happen so there is little room for growth. They don't negotiate salary and underpay you. The benefits they provide, for being such a large company is insulting. You get the basics and nothing more. No HSA's or anything like that and the health insurance options are not very good. They don't match 401k contributions and after all of this, they expect you to come in the day after Christmas and work your butt off to make deadlines so they reach their budget goals.

Getting worse and worse every year

Pros

Good people to work with, including managers. Pay is average, nothing you wouldn't find with another company.

Cons

Benefits are getting progressively worse and worse. I believe no one understands how the 401k works, it's gone from matching up to 8% to nothing. Some years you get raises and some you don't, depending how upper management is feeling. It's a company that feels like you need to work more in less hours. They like to promise to help you advancing career, but it never leads to anything. In short words upper management is a complete joke.
