Pros

Some of the friendships developed while working there

Cons

Incompetent management. Their "employees are our greatest asset" slogan is phony. They do NOT care about their employees. People are like garbage to them and they just get rid of when they no longer make money for the company. There are no training or job advancement in this company. Good work goes by unoticed. If they can take advantage of you, they will.

Annual "merit" raises don't cover cost of living increases. Annual reviews are designed not to discuss salary.
