Pros

Extremely competitive pay. They provide lunch and keep a fully stocked break room for their employees. Good health insurance at a very low cost for their employees. The nature of the work is pleasant and enjoyable. You earn three weeks of PTO your first year. The office nice and comfortable and the dress code is office casual. Everyone on my team gets along well!

Cons

So far, there aren't any. I'm not making this up. It's the best job I've ever had!!!!
