Pros

They have great benefits. They cover 100% of your monthly premiums and you're only responsible for a co-pay if your provider is in-network. They have a great 401K plan and unlimited sick days. The pantry is pretty good if you like healthy snacks. Upper management does a good job with their open door policy, at least mine does. I feel like I'm part of one big family rather than just another employee.

Cons

I haven't experienced any downside to the company yet.
