Pros

good healthcare (albeit expensive and goes up every year just enough to consume any raise you might have received), 401k, paid time off structure is average/decent (i.e. two weeks paid vacation per year, some paid holidays)

Cons

high stress, low compensation, poor management, no trust, very low annual raises, job expectations/requirements change more frequently than it is possible to keep track of, little room for advancement, politics. need i continue? i certainly can. must work most holidays even if it falls on your day off and usually told about it with very short notice and penalized if you're unable to work. shift changes every three months with no control of what you get. keep going? i could say more, but I think you get the point already. oh yeah, horrible work/life balance as you are expected to be completely "flexible" and totally rearrange your life at every whim of the company in the name of "change"- which would be more appropriately called "control".

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
