Pros

Great coworkers and plenty of growth opportunities (if you know how to look for them)

Cons

Pay can feel insulting at times, and they give merit increases that are basically nothing (think $0.15 raises to employees who are rated "exceeds expectations" on annual reviews). In 4.5 years working here they have never once given cost of living raises
