Pros

Salary is great Dry cleaning, Caribou, company store, Erbert & Gerbert's, and auto service/gas station all on site

Cons

They laid off a sizeable chunk of the workforce last year and just added more work to the remaining headcount. It's not uncommon to see people work for 8-10 hours in the office and then log on for another 2-3 hours at home, EVERY NIGHT.
