Pros

Light workload which means no pressure to perform.

Light workload, bored out of my mind. No opportunities to advance since there's no opportunities to prove yourself.

Pros

You have the opportunity to be a part of a huge integration process. The storage industry is changing and you'll be able to learn and grow with the company as it learns and grows.

Cons

It's an old and traditional company that is still getting used to 21st century tools, processes & software programs. Everything is very manual, done on seperate spreadsheets and has a "we've always done it this way" mentality attached to it.
