Pros

401K is great, but low-performance makes it inexistent. Great work and family balance. Great coworkers, not many slackers. Great lunchrooms, full of drinks.

Cons

You are overworked and will take on many tasks, there is no limit to the things you do. The only limit is how much you will make. Outdated technology, high turnover and management doesn't care. Poor training with low pay.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
