Pros

Great place to start out of college. I would suggest working in such a place for a year and getting what you can out of it and then moving on.

Cons

The software was way behind the times. While I was there the Sacramento office converted over to newer* software. You were able to process funds quicker but it was still like using MS Dos. Each screen had a several commands corresponding to a number. You just memorized the numbers and punched at the key board all day.
