Pros

The office looks nice and they finally have free coffee.

Cons

No vision benefits, low pay, not very flexible with letting people work remote. Raises are tiny. Every 2-3 weeks on-call for 12 hours Mon-Sunday. The work itself is very dull, the 401k payout is at the end of the year, the overall % contribution match is below standard and based on profits not a fixed rate.

Pros

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Cons

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
