      It used to be good. Then we merged.

      Pros

      Great benefits. Free books if you're into that sort of thing. Lots of opportunity to do community outreach - and they match charity donations.

      Cons

      No opportunities for growth. Severe cutbacks and lay offs.

      Pros

      Absolutely great management, lots of support and career opportunity in the wider business. Faith and trust was immediately there, while also allowing for mistakes and non judgmental support. The people are what make them a great business to work for and I would return if a suitable permanent role came up.

      Cons

      I worked long hours - my choice as I was very engaged and passionate about what I was doing. Due to the merger there wasn't long term work available for me (niche skillset), but that couldn't have been helped.
