Pros

No pros to write about.

Cons

Salary freeze for the last 3 years with no sight of any change in policy. Your benefits can be taken away from you at any time citing market downturn and yet the company keeps on making profits each quarter. No growth potential. Management expects you to work on a higher role than your job position but would not give you the position citing cost reduction. Red tape. Fat management layer.. almost like an inverted pyramid.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
