Pros

Had a great team, we worked together and had each others backs. Encouraged to work cross departments and help when every you could. Decent pay.

Cons

After the merger it was layoffs after layoffs. Put down for doing more than just your job. Very few will to help each other. Long hours and weekends without reward or comp time.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
