Pros

Beautiful Location Great Co-Workers Laid-back, but professional Acceptable Salary Decent Benefits Good support from upper-management

Cons

At the time, I was a recent college graduate who just bought a house, and my wife and I brought our first child into the world. They hired me three weeks after I graduated, and I thought that this would be a great career with a lot of hard-working people that I respected. Unfortunately, due to 'economic circumstance', less than 3 months later, my job and the department I worked in was eliminated--leaving me unemployed with a ton of student loans, a mortgage to pay, and hospital bills from my child's birth--despite working extremely hard, meeting all of my deadlines, and producing a lot of material. This resulted in severe financial hardship (unemployment compensation in Texas is not enough) for me and my family, that we still have not recovered from. If considering employment with Futurex, I would be sure to ask them questions to protect yourself from this .
