Pros

They work with my school schedule I love my co workers

Cons

Healthcare premium is so high we cannot see a doctor, they micromanage,treat you like a computer, this place isn't for you if you have a family or any life outside of work oh and on calls 8-12 weeks a year I could go on. Oh and they took my pto when I was out on maternity leave because having a baby is a vacation I guess

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
