Pros

annual bonuses (not guaranteed), good PTO, friendly co-workers

Cons

no raises, even for cost of living. Negotiate for a very high salary that you will be happy with for a few years before accepting a position. All work starts at a contract through CHC, which may make it more difficult to negotiate the higher wage.

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
