Pros

Sometimes early release, not much to brag about.

Cons

I'm not sure how they can state they gave above the National average for raises at 4%. What department was that. I know employees that received 1 & 2 %, what does that even mean when it's so little, really 1% sort of laughable. Why would it be below the cost of living. Also, they got rid of a lot of employees only to hire a lot more. The workload only grows for some when there are layoffs and hoping new employees and temps, which are paid low, is the answer may back fire!!! They tend to not be loyal or reliable.
