Pros

Benefits are awesome up to a 14% match on your 401(k), healthcare cheap compared to the competition, if you do an okay job, you can safely retire here, no fear of being let go - so lovely place if you just want to retire.

Cons

Career advancement is absent, even though management puts up quite a show in trying to convince employees how lucky they are to even have a job. Some managers in IT have been in their job for eons and are completely ineffective, but they know their job is secure, so we just have to deal with them.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
