Pros

Great benefits, including a 401K and an employee stock ownership plan. Small match of up to $750 on 401K but more than made up for by ESOP contribution of 8-10% of salary. Great fellow associates who are also owners. Time to vesting where an associate can benefit from the ESOP reduced to three years now. Flexible work schedule. if you're good at what you do, there are some opportunities to advance outside of project management. At corporate and distribution offices, we get free lunch!

Cons

Vacation starts at two weeks, negotiable depending on position. However the time to earn three and four weeks was reduced so they come sooner now. Six holidays a year. Work life balance was more of a challenge in the past but I have to say that it is improving quickly. There will be times when the job requires long hours - but what's new?
