Pros

Financial stability is a benefit.

Cons

Employee pay and benefits are sub-par for the IT side of the house. Employee satisfaction varies largely based on the group within IT due to management expectations. Managers look at any blip of red or yellow on their portfolios and threaten workers or make cuts accordingly to please senior management. Mid level managers, from my experience, have little training or ability to coach their direct reports or understand their jobs at all.

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
