Pros

My coworkers have always been pretty nice to me. Free cake once a month.

Cons

IT support sucks. The mental health support sucks. I have worked here almost 3-years and only got a raise after asking the lawyers I worked for multiple times. Never in my life have I felt less valued as an employee. They chronically underpay support staff and it shows in the office morale.
