Pros

Good work environment, they are willing to train you for your next job, retirement package good. Great opportunity to make good friends. The day to day work schedule was relatively relaxed and the hours could be adjusted some of the time.

Cons

frequently increase responsibilities without adjusting pay, benefits are not truly as good as they make them out to be. There were many weeks I was working in excess of 50+ hours a week for the same small pay. Lots of nights and weekends at times.
