Pros

I have a job and I get a paycheck.

Cons

Where to begin? Poor processes to say the least and everything that is normally a simple task is so difficult. Too many management layers that creates mass confusion. Administrative roles are looked upon very, very poorly in this company and we're the ones that make people look great by busting our butts!

Nice environment, on-site cafeteria run by a chef. Excellent Benefits. Lots of room for promotion with the right mentor in management.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations by some managers. Stay out of HR, data management area for a career with this company. Very weak manager that has difficulty retaining employees more than 6 months.
