Pros

FANTASTIC office culture. Amenities are top notch. Work/Life balance is very well attended (dependent on the person) Base pay is solid. Laid back culture, no babysitting, they treat you like an adult and expect you to do your job as such Managers want to have a good time at work and love to see people succeed

Cons

Relatively new territory/market. Need better universal training for present leadership and those who want to become leadership. Seems that the culture is mostly laid back which can have its own set of negative effects if left unacknowledged Not a terribly difficult job but when you are expected to know answers for several different products and you subsequently become an expert, you should be paid a higher wage. Obvious success and growth of the company should yield higher wages for those who have helped that growth (across the company, not just execs)

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
