Pros

The people you get to work with are great and most seem willing to help when you have a question or a task that you need help on. I feel very supported by my peers.

Cons

The multiple layers and 10 ways to do one thing make navigating the structure and getting something done a little painful. Sometimes you may feel constrained and not allowed to do your job... even though you were hired for your expertise. Management seems to like it their way and that's it despite a lot of talk about being open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

Pros

Flexible work hours and casual attire make physically going to work enjoyable.

Cons

Favoritism is rampant throughout the Imaging group, which leads to horribly incompetent management. Career advancement opportunities are bad, salary raises are insignificant, and career development is also poor. You gain very little in transferable skills, and the inefficient work processes are intractable due to the poor management. Internal team dynamics are usually sacrificed in returns of seemingly positive appearances to clients.
