Pros

Really good company to work for with excellent benefits such as pension, health insurance, on site parking. It has a really good work environment where you are encouraged to speak out and you are listened too. Its very flexible with start and finish time and no one is looking at the clock and they are also open to working from home.

Cons

I honestly can not think of any cons - the salaries are not top rate but are above average but I really can not think of anything else
