Lack of job security!

Pros

Benefit is not bad with multiple health insurance options.

Cons

The company is incredibly top-heavy—mostly directors, VPs, and senior managers with very few staff. Because of this, there is virtually no room for promotions. Combine that with regular quarterly layoffs, and there is absolutely zero job security.
