Pros

Competitive compensation. Flexible hours, depending. Brilliant coworkers, some of the best in their field. Poughkeepsie is a great place to live.

Regular layoffs, lack of job security due to restructuring.

Cutting small office perks like coffee.

Don't cut benefits like sponsoring further education back. It will hinder efforts to keep recruiting the best candidates. Consider employee quality of life before making cuts; it's not just a numbers game.
