Pros
Work with great people. Retirement plan match is excellent 8% on 1% contribution. Medical is affordable.
Cons
Raises are pretty much non-existent. 1% on average. 2% is considered a great year. Heard that this year will be 0.3%. Paid time off (PTO) is pathetic when you are new. First year you get 18 days, however the institute is closed the week of Christmas and they make you use your PTO days during that time which is 4-5 days. That leaves you with potentially 13 days for the year. This is all inclusive of vacation, sick and personal time. It's not nearly enough for anyone with a family. Human Resources is a joke. They are not responsive to the employees needs/suggestions. They take forever to post a job when someone leaves. They seem to be a pawn for the president.
