Pros

The company has a great culture in my opinion. I feel like my contributions are valued and that management cares about what we do and takes the time to acknowledge individual impact for the company. Management feels very accessible as well. My co-workers are all professional people and easy to get along with. Opportunities for advancement are real and rewarding. Continuing education is 100% paid for and encouraged. The pay is good. The benefits are mostly solid and fair.

Cons

There can be tension between departments that is hard to work through as sometimes it seems like we have competing goals. While overall the benefits are good, I do not like the 401K plan. The match is great, but the expenses of the funds are way too high compared to industry standards, especially for the Target Retirement funds (compare with: Fidelity, Vanguard).
