Pros

The only pros are a decent rate of pay and decent benefits and a somewhat flexible schedule.

Cons

Very bureaucratic and political, the St. Charles site is rife with nepotism at all levels, promotions are based solely on your ability to pucker. Most areas are very clique based and cause high stress and tension. Management lacks the proper training and are biased on personal opinion and not merit. Not a pure performance driven culture; rather, results are driven by tenure and personal network. Employee attitudes- many employees wouldn't give you the time of day or take you seriously. Employees are very quick to judge before getting to know others.
