Pros: Nice office at Domino Farms. Can work from home on occasion. Lots of online learning resources (RedBooks, etc.). Other job opportunities within this big corporation.
Cons: Cost-cutting measures: 401(k) payout only in December, no vacation day carryover, and benefits are not great. Low raises and no bonuses, even if your group does well. So many processes and procedures for daily activities.
