Pros

- Supportive working environment and people around you are super smart and know their field well - Good vacation days and stock purchase plans - Flexible work hours - Local managers DO care about their employees - Team building events!

Cons

- Corporate's been shrinking on benefits - Medical plan not so good...and it kept on getting worse by the year - Elimination of stock options to low level employee negatively affect retention of young employees - Senior managers in the corporate offices don't seem to care about the well-beings of the employee outside the building and most of what they care about is increasing the stock price (thus increasing shareholder value!)

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
