Pros

The people are very nice and know what they're doing...very smart! Their 401(K) matching is awesome.

Cons

If you don't play the game and become a "Tar-bot" you will go nowhere in this company. If you stay in the same job for more than two years it's looked down upon. Don't enter the company as NE (hourly) because rarely will you ever get a job as E (salary). NE employees don't receive the same maternity leave as E. If you're not FFF enough it will go on your review. The pay stinks. Small amount of PTO.
