Pros

Good learning experience with enterprise policies and design. Pay is good as well, but there is some "buts" with this. Most if not all travel can be expensed, with some caveats, but at least it's covered. Bonues based on company production during the year.

Cons

Management claims to not micro manage. However, a single concern can get you written up without any hesitation. There are to many politics in a "family" environment that is touted by the president. To the point where bullying seems to be allowed and nobody cares to try and resolve the issue. As with what I said above, Pay is great "but" it is not worth making lots of money when your mental health and the destructive attitudes of others you work with could cause someone to commit suicide.
