Pros

Salary & Benefits comaprable to similar companies. I found my peers and subordinates to be mostly competent and good to work with. Sales/Marketing was able to bring in new work.

Cons

In my case, I burned out there due mainly to a micro-managing project manager. As the technical lead for new product development teams, I found that the project manager wanted to do too much engineering and not enough managing. At my previous company, the project managers were wonderful - they did the managing and let me do the technical.

Pros

They do have good health benefits, not enough to balance the low salary though

Cons

After two years of no raises, heavier workload, no perks and speeches about "ecnomic uncertainity" The president got up at the year end meeting, said we exceeded expectations, earnings up, profits up, stock prices up. His conclusion, "You have to work even harder for even less to make this company even stronger" He obviously has not heard the hushed conversations around the office with bill collectors or the number of cars in the lot with pizza delivery signs on top.
