Pros

Seacoast New Hampshire and Maine are awesome areas to live. Work life balance is pretty great. Overtime is time and a half and is readily available for most employees with at least a year and a half experience. Leave time counts toward 40 hour week so you can get overtime even if you take a day off during the week.

Cons

Bureaucracy is overbearing. Promotion system based entirely on manager subjectivity. Some managers are easy and some are difficult to get promoted by. No flex-time so almost everyone comes in at exact same time through two tiny gates. Traffic is miserable.
