Pros

The people I worked with when I got there 6.5 years ago were intellegent, innovative, friendly, cooperative, and had a shared sense of purpose.

Cons

New management came in and cut staffing to increase profitability. This resulted in subject matter experts being replaced with contractors who had absolutely no idea how the business ran. Some people were hired back at a hefty premium when it became clear that the new folks were useless. Some project are years behind because new management cannot articulate what they want, and the new IT people couldn't supply any background help. there is a sense that if IT would just disappear management wouldn't look so inept

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
