Pros

Health benefits were good Coworkers were generally pleasant Store discount is available Learned what I don't ever want in life

Cons

Very old fashioned workplace that won't let you manage your own time Departments here are all about passing the blame complete with backstabbing and favoritism No internet - can't even google simple excel questions, let alone a 3 min sanity break Isolation in cubicle - barely left my cubicle, barely talked to anyone in person Difficult to manage a long commute - you must time arrival within a 7 minute period or sit around unpaid before you can clock in 1 year of work before you can get 1 week of vacation It gets creepy when you find out how many cameras are in the workplace Low pay, low rate of raises
