Pros

Great benefits & 401k, competitive salary, company car

Cons

Company announces layoffs, on average 1-2x/year, only to then hire new employees, so that when cuts are announced, it's the more tenured, higher paid, employees that are "let go."

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
