Pros

- location - PTO - good pay, no raises

Cons

- Management is too busy looking out for themselves - Management has no concept of work / life balance - Great place to work if you want to hide away and do nothing or be responsible. Just like working for the government really. - This place makes Initech look like a dream job!! AND much more similar than you could ever know.
