Pros

Company schooling will get you to where you need to be and know. People from all areas of the field to educate you on and answer any question you may have

Cons

Seniority employees that bid in and think they know more and may try and delay your progression to the next step in your career

Pros

There is room for growth and opportunity. Different projects where one gets to show their knowledge and talent

Cons

Vacation time and health insurance, it's not enough and you can end up paying a pretty penny out of pocket, but other departments have better providers

Pros

Flexible schedule (most people arrive to work early 7am or so and then leave early by 4pm or so). Many people work from home one day each week. Employees are nice and down-to-earth.

Cons

Extremely difficult to get promoted or advance your career. Employees aren't valued. Revolving door of upper management & big severance packages these folks. Constantly throwing away lots of money (to expensive consultants) to fix simple issues that could be handled (successfully) by employees; the fixes are never implemented well and lead to more issues. Always cutting costs. Have had a 0% raise twice in the last eight years. Bonus structure continues to change resulting in smaller checks each year. The Finance Organization just did a mass demotion (employees who were Directors are now Managers, Managers are now Lead Analysts, and Lead Analysts are now Senior Analysts). Unclear why people were demoted.
