Pros

Very good work/life balance. Flexible PTO and vacation, several paid holidays for salary employees. Sabbatical program gives one month off with pay every 7th year. Relaxed work environment. Lots of events and potlucks to keep everyone excited about the calendar and the weather. Donuts and bagels on Fridays. Great people to work with, very few bad apples. Big business plans mean there is plenty to do if you're willing and capable. CEO is intelligent and methodical, no emotional decisions or reactions. Some positions see international travel opportunities.

Cons

Pay is well below average, in some cases by more than $10k. No bonuses in 2014, no explanation why. Average raise barely keeps pace with inflation on a bad year, if raises happen. Limited benefits and cutting employer contributions; 401k match was slashed while saying people should save more for retirement. Office politics have been a bad experience in the last 5-6 years with no outlook for changing. Few outside training chances, fewer if it costs a lot of money. Professional development is lacking. Aggressive business plans can feel daunting and unsupported. No promotion chances for most positions.

Pros

Nice people, the company allows opportunities for advancement. The company offers a sabbatical after 7 years. The HR department is pleasant to deal with.

Cons

Poor pay. Current management is making deep cuts to core competencies. The poor pay used to compensate for a relaxed low stress environment with a family atmosphere. However the environment has changed in the last 3 - 4 years but the compensation has not. Not much opportunity for professional growth.
