Pros

Some good people, free coffee, good benifits, vacation and sick time offered. They allow you to work from home if you have doctor's appointments. Plenty of overtime available

Cons

Some of us do not have a good work and home life balance. We are over worked and understaffed. Management does not listen to the worker bees. They allow some people to work from home and others are told no. There is no flexibility in hours. They do not have their own billing department, you do your own billing. And then they complain when it doesn't get done quick enough. A lot of favoritism among other management.
