Pros

Good amount of work/life balance.

Cons

Don't expect loyalty because the company is so big that you simply become a number. There isn't much personal connection to higher levels of leadership.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and Supervisors. Family oriented team settings. Supervisors are very understanding of family emergencies and issues.

Cons

Worked there for 18months through a hiring agency. Got let go 2nd to the last day, because they didnt want to hire us as full-time employees. Upper management sucks. No chance of advancement in our department,
