Pros
Decent pay, annual bonus, good medical/dental Made me move out of my comfort zone to talk to people in other departments, just to enjoy my time there.
Cons
The dress code is so old school, that I had a hard time even buying pantyhose in the store to wear to this job The environment is the worst I have ever seen, with people walking on eggshells constantly, for fear of getting let go. Forget about getting to know your co-workers on a more personal level, I was berated by one for even attempting to inquire about their pregnancy. No one speaks to you in the hallways, half the time they won't even look at you. It seems that if you want to even socialize at lunchtime, you have to go OUTSIDE of the building to do so. They give the impression that they are "always watching", which is really creepy and unnerving. The department I worked in seemed to ENJOY getting their co-workers into trouble for things and the entire office would have to listen to the way they talked to each other, with NO respect whatsoever. If you have any kind of normal personality, they try and try to snuff that out, to make you a robot, just there to work, nothing more. They had me double checking my EXCEL spreadsheet with a 10-key (!!) and some were still using paper ledgers to keep track of things. Catch up with times!!! Since I have left, I have heard of many quality employees who have been "let go" for one reason or another, some were just personality clashes with their manager, which is completely uncalled for, IMO.
