Pros

Generous PTO, flexible start/end hours, annual bonuses, decent people, quiet work environment, telecommuting 2 or 3 days a week possible after one year, affordable benefits.

Cons

Company is fractured, too many functions are outsourced, antiquated computer systems. Change, if it happens, takes forever. In my department, reactive rather than proactive manager. Lousy training. One-year waiting period for telecommuting begins anew when you accept another position within the company.
