Pros

Not a bloody thing. Not a single person to trust. Do not work there. It's a madhouse. No respect, no training.

Cons

No access to training, little direction and a very political environment. There is a very two-faced environment. Travel is so extensive that they literally use you up.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
