Pros

They can't legally force you not to quit:)

Cons

-They make ALL employees punch-in/punch-out, including bathroom breaks. Yes you heard that right, there is a gate to the bathroom that is activated by you punching out (depending on what office you are in). -The teams are divided into two camps 1) employees with a severe case of stockholm syndrome and 2) those planning their escape. -Turnover is so high that maintaining software is difficult due to the code-base being unusually fragmented and under-architected. -Pay and benefits are unusually terrible. At the end of the day, a job is a job and if you need some experience you may be forced to work here. I would only recommend working here for the minimum amount of experience needed to go somewhere else.

Pros

Profit sharing checks, very flexible scheduling, friendly and helpful coworkers, easy job

Cons

10 cent and 50 cent pay increases only a few times a year, might force you to train to be a cashier or carryout, if small department you will take on management duties when they go on break, going home early to help payroll
