Pros

Twenty word minimum? This will be a struggle but.... the building in Chicago is nice, as is the cafeteria. Can't think of much else.

Cons

When this was WMS, it was a good company to work for, with annual raises, bonuses, perks, and a relaxed fun environment. We also made top of the line product. Since the buyout by SG, and subsequent merger with Bally, it is a shell of it's former self. Company is deeply in debt., and does not care about anything besides bottom line. Unless you are absolutely desperate to find a job, stay far away. Cons: - No raises - No longer giving company wide bonuses - Constant threat of layoffs - Far too many non-technical people in charge of technical departments - Lowest morale possible - Most people are looking to get out - To top it off, there is a bird that attacks your head when you walk outside of the building

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
