Pros

Awesome work environment, everyone is pretty friendly, cool game room, gym, free lunch, and the oppurtunity to learn. I have learned something everyday for the past year and I now know way more than I ever thought I would. Honestly, I never knew I would be able to have the knowledge set I currently have and for that I am grateful. I also met the love of my life here, so that was a plus for me, heh, heh.

Cons

Pay could be a bit higher, but it was fine for my level of experience upon being hired. Shift bids kill the whole vibe. Every six months or so, you have to bid on a new shift, and your time to bid depends on your numbers. However, if you work at night, it is harder to get better numbers, so you are stuck working nights. Also, policies change left and right without any consideration of the employees that work there currently. To be honest, the most dissappointing thing is that we are all expendable. Employee retention is non-existent. Everyone I know wants to leave the company, because we all feel like we are not appreciated.
