Pros

Flexible arrangements, work from home access, decent number of vacation days, looks good on a resume (great starting point).

Cons

Low starting salary (non-negotiable). Long hours (overtime is implied), have to work on most holidays, outdated software. Extremely stressful at times (have to handle many different processes, crucial deadlines, and resolve frequent issues that arrive). Large amount of individuals hired are inexperienced/not educated for positions, while others have been there for years with no true purpose. There is no true explanation to what you're doing, you have to teach and figure it out yourself. Extremely high rate of turnover due to environment/processes. Consistently hear about jobs being off-shored.

Pros

I stayed far longer than I expected because I liked the people around me at my level. Good benefits: 4 weeks vacation, decent health care (although only high deductible plans offered now). Grateful to have been hired directly after college.

Cons

Delusional ideas about the future, actively trying to out-source their entire staff (which is an industry wide trend), highly compartmentalized to the point where no two teams know what each other are doing (clients complained they had to call 4 different teams instead of just having a single contact)
