Pros

Good benefits, eaw is nice

Cons

They only listen to one side of the story. They conner you and tell you what they think happened instead of fully investigating a situation. Management is horrible if you don't thank them enough they will find reasons to get rid of you over stupid stuff.

Pros

Steady Work, Good Benefits, Weekly Paychecks, Competitive Pay, Small Office Environment. Position was pretty much a head down data entry job - could listen to music throughout shift.

Cons

Over Emphasis on Production - Every second of your shift must be accounted for. Long Irregular Hours - End time varied every day. Not Much Potential For Job Advancement.
