Pros

Pay is decent, off every other Friday is nice. Mid-level management is great and try very hard to make things better.

Cons

Company culture is terrible. Most in the IT department are miserable and want to leave. No leadership, poor direction, treat their employees like disposable objects, high turnover. Very much an "ivory towers" type of hierarchy, do not expect to receive any meaningful information from above.
