Pros

The benefits are exceptional:

  • Free health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Disability
  • 15 vacation days
  • 12 holidays
  • 6% 401K matching
  • Ability to work from home
Cons

I was frequently on call, which meant I had to carry a pager for a week every other month.

The raises and promotions were pretty minimal each year.

I was not allowed to apply to other internal positions even after deciding upon an availability date upon hiring.

Advice to Management

I believe the company should focus more on working as one unit, with all departments working as individual entities not concerned with any other department's progress.
