Pros

The technology is one of the best. The training is excellent. A person is always challenged to learn and move ahead. The benefits, insurance, 401K, pension, dental, short term disability. Work from home. Opportunities to be innovative and creative.

Cons

A person will probably always work overtime which for some people can be a pro. Expectations are high, a person needs to have high quality work in a minimal about of time. To move ahead a person might have to move to another location.

Pros

If you are a man the office manager will love you and let you work your own schedule, get special treatment, etc.

Cons

Gender bias..men are wonderful, women..ehhhh, bullying by management. Senior management doesn't listen to employees at office level when they complain about a manager. Not following legal and ethical guidelines like they should. Doing whatever it takes to make the sale at all costs. Management thinks they are above the law for some reason.
