Pros

Many of the colleagues within the IT group were excellent people and fun to work with. Work life balance was a positive. Telecommuting when necessary was never frowned upon. The company offers a free health club membership to Hatfield Athletic club for all employees.

Cons

Management in IT does not care about their employees. Resources are severely out of balance as there is way more work than the current staff can possibly handle. Management does not assist with prioritizing the work. They operate on a first in first out approach to work completion. Employees in IT are expected to work on helpdesk cases, small projects and large projects simultaneously. Management does not hesitate to fire staff w/o warning. 7 people were let go in the 13 months I was employed. This is an extremely high number since the IT dept totals 32 people in all.

Pros

Collaborative environment! If you are driven the leadership will help to find the right platform for you to prove yourself and then reward you if they can.

Cons

No major cons, a typical company with political issues here and there. The office leaves a little to be desired but they are upgrading soon!
