Pros

Benefits; hours; that's about it.

Cons

No training. Whisper campaigns. Managers asking employees about other employees and getting information via third person. Sharing that third party misinformation with superiors to taint your reputation so that they can look good for their superiors. Everyone scared for their jobs. Terrible atmosphere. "Watch out" is the most common phrase.
