Pros

-If you don't have a degree in CS or Engineering, this is a good place to learn hardware, software, and a little networking. -If you are in sales, you are set for life. -100% employer paid health insurance (worker only). Great if you're single. -Some cross-training possible

Cons

-Executive management is a joke. -Salesmen get above-market-rate commission and a very generous base salary, which are paid for on the backs of support, R&D, marketing, and manufacturing. -Very little time off -Lots of unpaid work -Nearly zero chance of promotion -Very low wages, especially compared to all the other tech work nearby -No thanks or feedback from CEO or dept heads (unless you're in sales) -Lots of gossip, backbiting, and scapegoating
