Pros

There are many different groups in IT, so you can learn a variety of things by switching jobs within the company (but if the budget is frozen, you're stuck). Stable job, you're not likely to get fired or laid off. Good benefits. Tuition reimbursement. On-site classes by staff as well as vendors. On-site gym and cafeteria. The tech campus is located in a quiet residential area. Some groups have a laid-back atmosphere, I see people having 6-hour work days and getting away with it. However, there are teams that have strict deadlines and 70-hour work weeks. It really depends on which group you're in.

Cons

I have heard that it is difficult to move up the ladder in the technical direction, so many people go into management to be able to advance their careers. Sometimes policies such as time off and working from home are not clear, things are often done by personal arrangement with the manager. If you are a conservative married middle-aged Southern American, you'll feel right at home at FedEx. If that description does not apply to you, you might have difficulty trying to fit in socially. Again, this depends on your particular team, but if you're unlucky enough to be the opposite of this description, be prepared for the possibility of social isolation and fear of expressing your individuality.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
