Pros

You are given the ability to work from home sometimes. You aren’t micromanaged. You are eligible for a yearly bonus.

Cons

Training program is very lacking. The development process is unclear and inconsistent. The management is not very diverse or consistent with their messages.

Pros

One work from home day and onsite medical for simple issues. Good department management, but there is only so much they can do, promotion guidelines are set by HR and others higher up.

Cons

High turn over, low raises and bonus (the pay and bonus are degrading compared to the work and BS degrees in the department). Lowest pay in the industry by 5K -7K per year, work unpaid overtime to keep your job in good shape. PTO is solid, but your work suffers while you are away.
