Pros
1) Start with over 3 weeks vacation per year. 7 of those days are at Christmas and New Year's when the company just shuts down. 2) Relatively stress-free 3) IT department is split into Infrastructure (Networking and Servers/Storage), Security, and Service Desk 4) No bonus for non-management staff but the base salary is quite competitive
Cons
1) highly political 2) 5-days onsite. no remote or hybrid 3) Healthcare is through UMR, a cheap United Healthcare plan that does everything it can to deny you medication 4) Service Desk people are not trained to do much troubleshooting. If it sounds like a network or server issue, it instantly gets categorized in the ticketing system as such with no effort whatsoever to even see if a network cable is plugged in. 5) Houston office is next to the Galleria, so be ready for serious traffic
