      Pros

      My first full time. Managers are so far good. Like the projects that I'm in. Lots of learning curve for me.

      Cons

      Too much work. Work life balance is very low. Lack of people to do the work. As an analyst 1 I'm handling the high priority projects and driving them as a test lead.

      Pros

      The people you meet are interesting and fun, the day-to-day work can be fun, and it's nice to work for a company that has an ethical profile. You might not be working with 'cutting-edge' technology, but you'll be doing something interesting. Very good work/life balance.

      Cons

      You will get your soul crushed unless you very quickly learn to not care about things getting done. Projects are still funded/organized from the top, new ideas are ignored, there are precious few systems in place to do things. They are the antithesis of "agile" (with or without a capital "A"). Backbiting, internal politics, incompetent middle-management. No clear idea of how or why individuals are promoted.

      Worked my butt off for this company. Pay was bad.

      Pros

      - Management is very rewarding to the select few they keep close to (I was promoted to TL after 3 months, totally stole the position from a guy who'd been working there for 4 years). -20% Employee discount, but if you have a credit card with them, this is almost useless & pointless. -Very polite employees, lots of thank you's and good-morning's -Managers were cool, not many of the employees seemed to like them, but I loved them all! -Shift ended at 2-3, but did start at 6. Lots of overtime opportunities, I did 60+ hours a few times.

      Cons

      -Employee's complain, A LOT. Always talk of the company falling apart. -Employee's always talk behind each other's back. -Very negative environment, especially when reflecting on the work of coworkers or management, seriously. -Very low wages, as a team leader I didn't even get a $2 raise from the minimum wage. -Not so clean, everyone always complain's about merchandise never being where it's supposed to be. -Expectations can some times be above what's actually possible. -Lunch breaks weren't paid.
