Pros

Excellent work environment with challenging work and plenty of opportunity to make a big impact. Good pay and benefits(*). Great work/life balance. Management that is involved in decisions when needed, but doesn't meddle. Appetite for growth via acquisition has been the modus operandi for the past several years which leads to new opportunities.

Cons

(*) The one drawback to the benefits is maternity/paternity paid leave. My former employer offered 16 weeks of full pay maternity/paternity leave for birth or adoption (which was exceptional). This organization has not been adopted that benefit, or a variation of it, for a variety of reasons, but, when brought up to Senior Management, the idea is quickly dismissed as nonsensical. If the business reasons are valid for not offering this, that is understandable, but make sure the message is delivered appropriately. Note: FMLA is offered for parental leave to care for a newborn or newly adopted or placed child and PTO can be used (as I understand it). The other benefit not offered is sick time, but lumped into PTO. This is also a disadvantage as compared to previous employer offerings. Another concern is that our growth is spurred mostly by acquisitions and affiliations and organic growth of the core business has slowed.
