      Pros

      Family life is of the utmost importance to this company. PTO is outstanding and includes several holidays.

      Cons

      The pay will only be sufficient to be a secondary income.

      Good Company, Bad Industry

      Pros

      People who you work with really feel like family. Everyone helps each other and bands together to make sure things get done. They really care about your personal wellbeing

      Cons

      Hours expected to work are very long and the low pay means you are barely able to support yourself for the first few years in this career. Some of the older employees in high level management jobs aren't open to change and insist on sticking with old practices that are no longer effective in the changing environment.

      Pros

      The people are great, the books are amazing and the benefit programs are really solid.

      Cons

      Pay rates aren't competitive, so you have to be in it for the love of the books.
