Tons of work; inadequate pay.

Pros

The work/life balance is wonderful. Flex timing and opportunities for overtime. Management gives quarterly meetings which update employees on recent news.

Cons

Pay increases are not nice or rare. Maybe .15 cent or a great year would be .50 increase per hour. You work really hard and employees don't receive bonuses or a thank you.

Pros

It is a good company as far as what you make per hour as a contractor. It was a good start toward my other goals.

Cons

I feel that the benefits could have been better. Also, advancement opportunities are just no there. No room for growth.
