Pros

They pay you fairly well and give you good benefits. My health insurance is awesome and the employer matching for 401k is very generous.

Cons

No work life balance. Management doesn't care if you are there till 2:00, and will only have complaints for you when things go wrong.

Thanks for your comments. That is very sad to hear as we have a strong focus on dynamic working and creating work life balance for our colleagues, however it does rely on the support of line managers. We have a "Dynamic Working" month planned for October and hopefully this will help change the culture n your office.
