Pros

Benefits (health, dental, and vision)

Cons

No growth opportunities Back stabbing Hr Leadership has flipped twice in a couple years and that goes as high as CHRO. Clique groups They do not care about you at all. They do not care about what’s going on in your life they will replace you, doesn’t matter if you are a good employee. Worst HR department ever, if you want to go to HR work in field. Do not go to corporate HR. They are not humans centered, they do not care about your well being or your safety.
