Pros

Most of the employees are so untrained and bad at their jobs that if you’re good you can skate by doing the minimum. In fact they will force you to do the minimum

Cons

Top heavy organization that promotes fry cooks up to corporate with no training. You’ll see incompetence here that you won’t believe. They take down high performers to their level and the services they create are so bad that it’s a matter of time before you get laid off. Has no bearing on quality of your work. You’ll get cut while people who have no skills any other company would accept stay.

Pros

The pros really depend on who you work under; each place has a different manager, and they can make or break the environment. I was lucky to have a wonderful manager while I was there the second time.

Cons

Human Resources. Sometimes complaints are filed and not much is done.
