Pros

Growth Company - if you can negotiate your incoming salary. Then you might have enjoy. With growth comes opportunities, as long as they are willing to hire from within. Good medical and dental plans, but compensation is something to be desired.

Cons

No Work-Life Balance Compensation - terrible after you join Leadership opportunities - minimal, prefer to hire from outside then hire from within.
