Pros

There were opportunities to cross train and advance within company. Plenty of jobs were available to those who wanted to grow with the company.

Cons

With merger and decentralization, many long time employees (25+ years) were let go even though they had years of experience, but I guess the company strategy is moving in a different direction and the current thinking isn't cutting it.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
