Pros

Good place to learn a wide range of techniques, flexible work schedule, won't kill you with overtime

Cons

Pay is down right abhorrent for the work performed. The other reviews are accurate. They will put a lot of work and pressure on you and pay horrendously below industry and area average. As a result the turn over rate is too high to maintain stability in the work environment. Promotions are rare and even with a promotion, the pay is abysmal. Management takes no responsibility when things go wrong. Did I mention the pay is way below industry average, because really it's a glaring problem.

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
