Pros

Good benefits, strong focus on user experience. If you have a good supervisor, you have the ability to learn a great deal about the industry and can participate in focus groups. If you don't like something that is occurring within the company, just wait a few months, odds are that it will change.

Cons

Management doesn't care how their decisions affect the employees. Their word is gold and there will be no flexibility until they decide to make the next big change. Change happens constantly and most of this change is not well thought out. The system is shaky at best and has many bugs. There are many errors when employees are working on the back end and it is not factored into your production time.
