      Pros

      Location is good, even after the move away from Lowell. Benefits were good with some discounts

      Cons

      After 2008, all they cared about was cutting cost and keep them down. management didn't care about quality of workers, only that they come cheap. This might be a pro for some but I considered it a con- in certain departments( ahem IT ), you had to have done something really really really bad to get fired. It can be discouraging coming into work, especially if you're a hard worker, because you don't get recognized for your hard work and the slackers don't get reprimanded. Buddies/Groupies/Close friends rule the IT department. It's hard to get promoted unless you're with the in-crowd. Some of the things these people get away with can make your head shake... a lot of times they're just surfing though.
