Pros

Great people to work with. Great benefits like PTO and insurance. Lots of opportunities for advancement, and they typically promote from within the company.

Cons

Most of the higher level positions require lots of travel, even up to 100%. Management tends to push very hard for a work lifestyle regardless of family obligations, so make sure that's what you can accept before going to work there.
