Pros
NM has a great benefits package and listens to their employees. The work-life balance is important to this company, and its something that comes up during review periods if you seem to be spending too much time at the office. Work at home is flexible within the Information Systems department, so if something comes up (you or child is sick, errands to run, delivery expected) you are allowed to work at home.
Cons
The pay is low compared to similar jobs outside the company, but the benefits make up for it. There is a lot of bureaucracy at the company, and its very difficult to get a systems change done. Plus, the rules governing the systems change process is about to get a lot more restrictive, making any systems administrator's job a LOT more difficult! The reason behind the red tape is that it's imperative systems remain available to our clients, as any down time results in lost revenue. Which is understandable, but still makes our jobs harder.
