Pros

Good benefits and nice people. The situation at local offices varies, as it does by department, but where I worked people were nice and good to work with, despite the deteriorating situation.

Cons

Chaos and no job security. On the corporate level, things have been bad for years and show no sign of stabilizing. Upper management has made some poor decisions and thousands have lost their jobs, with the remaining employees struggling to do the work of multiple people. Time-wasters such as the painful annual employee goal exercise and periodic rebranding add to the stress.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
