Pros

-Work life balance when needed. -Great group of people will be your neighbors. -I don’t want to say they are evolving, but things are always being rearranged... kinda like rebuilding a transmission.... this produces a fast paced work environment with interesting work.

Cons

-Very little room for growth, but you can gain responsibilities. -A healthy portion of finger pointing and lack of accountability. -Some managers don’t share bonus pool fairly. -A few managers that work for themselves and not the company as a whole.
