Pros

Work was left at the door once the business day ended.

Cons

Extremely low salary; Salaries not level across the board-- doing the same job in a different branch of the company meant wildly different compensation; cronyism: managers had their favorite employees, even if said favorites were incompetent employees-- this makes sense though, as many of the managers were also incompetent at their job. Certain managers essentially relied on the person one step below them in the supervisory hierarchy to pretty much do their job for them-- while still taking all the credit and reaping the financial benefit.
