Pros

Get all government holidays off. Hours are good, Mon to Fri, 9 to 5. Don't have to work weekends. Have pot lucks and nice xmas party.

Cons

The pay is horrible!! Most people have to work a 2nd job since the pay is so low. And the bonuses suck. No matter how hard you work, you don't get a good bonus. Some managers don't do anything and are always calling out or leaving early.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
