Business Outlook

Pros

Jeans any day, somewhat flexible work hours, 40 hours minimum a week (which is better than having to work 50 hours minimum, for instance), and an IT department which is more receptive to using open source technologies such as KafkaMQ, Hadoop, Spark, etc. Cubicles instead of "open work space environment" as well (which I prefer)!

Cons

Drab office decor, no compensation for after-hours code changes or being on-call, no pay for performance, too much reliance on vendors, lots of phone and email support you have to do as a developer.

Pros

Some great leaders in the branches and at district level. Pretty much stops there though. Stable company, do your job (even with a minimal amount of competence) and you will always have one.

Cons

Very political, limited chance for advancement, very POOR pay even if you crush sales annually, and management certainly plays favorites and decides who to promote. HR department?.....more like HA department!
