Pros

Top-notch benefits package even for 20+ hour part time employees. Unbelievable health & dental insurance for about $120 a month, 25% discount on computers, 12% discount on stock purchase (up to 10% of salary), 50% matching 401(k) (up to 6% of salary), tuition reimbursement (up to $5000).

Cons

Very limited opportunities for advancement past the front-line technical support position. Constant focus on meeting the numbers. Limited interaction with coworkers. Limited & ineffective continuing technical training. If you aren't good at self-directed learning and troubleshooting you will not do well at this job. The hourly pay is not commensurate with the abilities that you need to have to do the job well, and there is extremely little flexibility to reward more skilled employees with higher pay. If you do a mediocre job then the pay is appropriate, if you do an excellent job, and have sharp technical skills, you could be making easily double or triple working as an independent consultant.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
