Pros

- Excellent health benefits and work schedule. - Great tuition reimbursement program. - Excellent wellness/recreation program and private fitness centers. - Work is fascinating, and constantly changes. - Coworkers are friendly and helpful, most have diverse backgrounds. - Easy to apply for new positions within the company once you have your foot in the door. - Perform above expectations, demonstrate a willingness to learn new roles, and management will promote accordingly.

Cons

- Compensation scales, job titles, and job descriptions are ambiguous. - Pay raises are generally low, bonuses are mediocre. - Archaic and inefficient paper trailing of documents. - Management seems to communicate ineffectively, causing employees to work extended hours and weekends to meet constantly shifting deadlines. - Other than new hire training, organizational training is virtually non-existent. - Mismatched 90's office furniture and uncomfortable chairs. - "Holiday" party is limited to employees only. - After 3 years, I still have no clue what HR does.
