Pros

Financially sound. Relaxed work environment. Good co-workers. Good balance between work/family life. Base salary is pretty good for the area.

Cons

Outside of base salary, benefits are not that great - medical coverage is actually pretty expensive compared to other places I've worked. Merit increases are paltry (less than 3%) considering that they have all this cash on hand. No bonus. I can't speak for other positions, but in my case there is no room for advancement. If I were to stay at FCB for the next 20 years, I'd probably be doing the same thing then that I do now. Some people may like that, but for me I need something more challenging and exciting. Technology is a bit behind the times. We JUST got upgraded to Office 2007 on our workstations. And many co-workers still have huge CRT monitors at their desks (circa 1995).

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
