Pros

- Very generous 50% match on 401k - Associated with a well recognized company - Opportunities to work with new technologies

Cons

- Management does not care about the employees. They are greedy and only want to line their own pockets. They will plan to fire you the moment you start to earn a fair salary. - They are very litigious. Look up the case "Todd Cronin vs. Bandsintown" if you're interested. - Mediocrity is tolerated from some, while harder working employees are scolded. - Management does not shy away from attacking employees on a personal level. - Work-life balance is borderline impossible. - For all intents and purposes, the company lacks a proper Human Resources department. You're better off not reporting anything; they'll try to make you feel stupid and regret speaking up for yourself. - Little to no room for upward mobility and fair compensation unless you get on your knees and beg. They'll make you feel small before they give you less than what you deserve. That being said, if you're lucky enough to land in the good graces of the companies management, you can sail while others suffer.
