Pros

3 weeks off per year for first year. They're willing to pay good wages to new employees. Liberal time off policy. There's a lot of activities to do in the Reno area.

Cons

Management is broken. Technical ladder was non existent so the best way for employees to move up was to move into management. The people in management do not have the skills necessary to effectively motivate and direct their employees. The problem now is that even if some of management leave or are let go, they will likely hire like minded people to replace the outgoing personel. The 401k is sad (down to a yearly $750 match). Bonuses are large if you are in management but lower employees get a pittance. The company likes to hire outside people and pay them more than existing employees doing the same job. Current CEO only knows how to cut, not how to build.

Pros

Great department. A family atmosphere. Good benefits.

Cons

The new transition has gutted the company. Do more with less. Management has no say. The execs that have no knowledge make employment decisions. Seniority or job knowledge doesn’t matter to the people in the ivory tower.Do more with less. No real raises, no chance for advancement.
