Pros

Great benefits. Good working environment. Nice people.

Cons

Low starting wage. Very difficult to get a pay increase. No annual reviews. My supervisor said it was next to impossible to get any raise other than a yearly cost of living adjustment and chance for an annual bonus anywhere between 5 and 10 percent of your annual wage. They will make you work in a harder position without giving you the title or pay associated with the position.
