      Pros

      Hours are not too bad, pretty decent benefits, the work is interesting, can work at home when necessary. Lot's of opportunity with all the recent attrition.

      Cons

      Awful comp structure, cheap on IT spending, won't provide tech training for employees, too much off-shoring of IT jobs to save money. Can be very bureaucratic and centralized planning.
