Pros

Great bonuses, decent pay, beautiful corporate building, family run business with owners on site.

Cons

Micromanagement and a reluctance to promote from within the company. The owner's wife is very controlling of the business and keeps the culture very strict - recently they began enforcing a No Visible Tattoo type of policy to "cover up your bad mistake" in which employees are encouraged to cover up their tattoos with band-aids and ace bandage like sleeves (because having a staff that looks like they've all been injured looks better than a butterfly on the ankle).

Pros

Reasonable Pay. The cash and year end bonuses are a nice incentive.

Cons

Micro-management, monitoring your every move on emails, chat, websites, in person surveillance. Discourage socializing at work. Cannot get up from desk without an explanation. HR is strict on just about everything fun. No growth opportunities within company.
