Pros

Investment in training, generally competent middle management, open to moves within the company, friendly people, flexible working hours, good benefits and holidays, starting salary above average, career prospects can be excellent if picked by senior management

Cons

Can be incredibly boring and tedious, workload comes in cycles of either too much or too little, poor communiation from higher management particularly about business prospects, ridiculous corporate activities, some obviously incompetent people, poor feedback about work results

Pros

Employer respects the employees, and communication is very good between management and the lowest level employee a very good place to work.

Cons

No negatives in my eyes MI is in a recession and they might track me down and fire me if I say something bad... But really this is a very nice place to work if I could change something I would say give the employees a raise every six months based on performance.

Pros

I worked as a contractor, they were fair at times. HR is very nice. Not very keen on letting you travel anywhere.

Cons

Raises are abysmal. No real contact with my supervisor at any times. Once they have you in a seat they leave you alone.
