Pros

High Salaries to start with - unless you are low-balled when you are hired. Be careful about that. Nice co-workers for the most part. Good hours - and flexible schedules for most positions.

Cons

Incompetent Management No communication Wrong management structure. Your actual manager can be someone you have little to no contact with - while the senior person that you work with every day has no control over your performance review or retention.
