Pros

Local company with reasonable work hours.

Cons

Where to begin... - Salary is lower than comparable roles within area. - Insignificant pay raises (we did not receive any last year). - Insignificant bonuses (less than 30% of what we should have received). - Little opportunity to advancement. - Ultra-conservative (it is frowned upon to leave your desk to take a break - literally had a manager tell me that no where in the hand book does it state you are entitled to a 15 minute break to stretch your legs). - High turnover - the best and brightest tend to leave within a few years. Only older folks close to retirement seem to stay.
