Pros

Able to work from home a few days a week. That's really the ONLY Pro.

Cons

They 'lay-off' 100+ people every year. You'll eventually be one of them. Most IT are contractors from another country that sends a lot of IT folks each year to the US under H1-B visas.... Management will rarely talk to you, unless they are going to a meeting, then they will quiz you about everything so they appear to know what they are talking about in the meeting...you know, the meeting you should have been invited to, but you weren't...... Managers are basically clueless. They hire good people underneath them, then take all of the credit when projects go well. Managers will also promote only the people they like, so it won't matter how good you are, if they don't like you, you won't go up, get a good raise, and will eventually be laid off.

Pros

Nothing at all, only work at Safeway if you're about to be literally homeless

Cons

Genuinely hellish work environment. Management is lazy and absent, customers are the most disrespectful and clueless I have ever encountered. Complete unrealistic labor allocation and expectations. As a PIC, I have to run 9 SCO robots, unlock cases for customers, perform transactions at Customer Service, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
