Pros

Access to good technology; IT middle management aware of issues and trying to do things better.

Cons

Frequent long hours, especially weeks before a system release, vicious politics; lack of architectural knowledge, antiquated systems and processes. Long hours are a feature as the CTO believes in working crazy hours during pushes followed by weeks or months of inactivity - worst of both worlds. Some workplace rules, especially as they pertain to attendance are insane; in all fairness, IT is relaxing some of these rules, but only because of the long hours.

Pros

I was "let go" from the company more than a year and this was the greatest pro that ever happened to me. Currently work in a company that actually trains their new hires and treats you like a worker.

Cons

As a stock market trainee, you won't be trained at all. They don't care how you get your numbers - just get it done. A speck above minimal wage starting out way below industry level even for an entry-level job. Their retention rate is very low. They hire and fire a lot at the end of the fiscal year.
