Pros

Work from home days, employees are friendly and that includes most of the mid-level management. Not a hard job for an average IT employee. Good learning available to learn the business. Not a lot of overtime. If you like art work, you can't beat RJ as every wall has paintings. Largest collection in the south east US. Stable company, no layoffs.

Cons

In IT (software engineers), learning about the business is not mentioned or pushed. Technical growth to keep up with the industry is severely lacking. Book shelves of IT books from the 90's. Many of the SE III an IV have never used design patterns. If you want some new technology, this is not the place. Very mainframe/waterfall mindset. Overall, good managers if they have a technical background. Otherwise, they do more harm than good. No gym that is close by and no interest from the company in fixing that situation. The good people stay for awhile, get bored then leave. Salary is below average.

Pros

People are friendly on the surface and generally very polite. Management is very effective at convincing employees that this is a good place to work.

Cons

Low pay. Poor benefits. No meaningful contribution to retirement. Employees are expected to work long hours for no reward. Scheduled vacation can be denied at the last minute. Many members of IT management have no technical training. Workers suffer as a result of poor management decisions. Employees are broken down instead of being lifted up. Moral is getting lower.
