Good salary but not worth it

Pros

Good salary, uptown restaurants good for lunch.

Cons

Pay - very good but not fair across departments for employees with the same job title and function. Very dependent on your first-line manager (they pick your salary/bonus/pay increases manually). Great if you get a good manager...not so great if you get a bad one. Work-life balance - same as with the pay...some managers are lenient and others are total micromanagers. Just luck of the draw. Career Opportunities - basically none at this time due to a hiring freeze. Company seems more focused on the bottom line than on creating opportunities for growth. Facilities - no windows or views of the outside world unless you are a manager or have been at the company for 20+ years to "earn" a window seat.

Pros

The pay is decent. The workload is literally non existent. The company has an OK 401(k). Potential for "growth" if you decide to crossover to another department. OT is plentiful.

Cons

OT is a major issue within the security department. The turnover is high. The quality of personnel is laughable.
