Great career development and benefits
Pros: I had a truly great experience working in the company for 4 years with 2 different groups in Technology as an analyst and  project manager. I had great mentors and managers that focused on my career development because of my performance and drive. The company is stable, great benefits and discounts, decent pay and increases based on performance. People have been working in the company for up to 30 years and more. Lots of loyalty and a family, team oriented culture in the Tampa location. In my experience, my teams were extremely collaborative and open to feedback, suggestions, etc. everyone is willing to help get the job done. its great if you can handle the pressure and work, great for experience, and an excellent company name to have on your resume. But If you need things to be given to you in a silver platter this isn't the place for you.
Cons: Work life balance is stretched but it all depeneds on the group, department, and you. It's the nature of the business. You've got to push yourself since there is a lot to learn and hit the ground running the moment you are there. There are always changes happening so be flexible and opened-minded. It's a lot of work once the learning curve ends and responsibilities grow. Lots of pressure and overtime depending on the project and impact, but that's because of the amount of quality that goes into the work there.its very competitive when it comes to performance so you have to make yourself stand out.
