Pros

If you are career oriented, you can make a lot of money at this company. The opportunties are endless to those who have put in their sweat equity.

Cons

If you are a family oriented person, beware! Most people live on their blackberries 24/7 and may expect you to do the same. If you chose not to follow the other sheep, you will be left in the dust or unemployed.
