Pros

Great benefits (vacation, sick time, personal time) and insurance options, tuition reimbursement, product discounts

Cons

Management is horrible - little or no experience managing people and horrible skills (micro-managing, etc.). Management was definitely one of the main reasons most people left. Also experienced "bait and switch" regarding the job that I was hired for - it was completely different than the job description and thus, had a very high turnover rate. When hired, I was told that I could move up easily within a year - not so. It is very, very, very difficult to move up within the company and oftentimes, external candidates were hired instead of internal candidates (when all other experience/education was equal). Once during my tenure, a co-worker of mine was offered an internal job transfer to another department and a few days before her start date, they told her they decided to go with an external applicant. AFTER they had already offered her the job! Unfortunately, this seems to happen a lot.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
