Pros

Other employees friendly and good to work with, decent work environment.

Cons

Every employee has a different job title so they can easily justify getting rid of whoever they need to, based on "we don't need any more of job title 'X'. No loyalty to employees Despite claiming to be very family friendly, taking parental leave will result in you being 'laid off.'
