Pros

Pay is very competitive. Not too many politics, although it can depend on what team you are working for. Work can generally be done without meddling management.

Cons

On-call rotation where you have to carry a pager and respond to issues 24/7. Not too many benefits outside of the standard medical/dental/vision.

Pros

Competitive pay, nice employee stock program (if you make it to year 3), new offices provide a good corporate feel. High growth market leads to interesting new challenges.

Cons

High stress environment. The company strives for financial efficiencies through overworking employees. Lack of clear processes leads to "get the job done" mentality and no clear roles.

Pros

Cool, fun company. Growing like gang busters and lots of opportunity if you can hang on. You have the ability to affect change and try new things.

Cons

Hours are horrible. 13 hours in the building per shift was average and that was "off" peak season. Leadership is by force - fear and senior operations' demands ruled the world. Morale is very low among most of the area managers. Success is a popularity contest based on how long you are willing to work. Site leadership talks about leadership and communication - but the personal actions they provide are militaristic and lack any type of incentive / morale boost for those of us non-military types.
