Pros

Good co-workers and medical benefits

Cons

Low pay with high responsibility. There are too many managers within the facility and none of them have any power. Questions get these answers: It's out of my hands, I can't do anything about it, that's above my pay grade. The company makes grand decisions without the care of how it impacts the life of the employees. They treat everyone as a group, so if 1 person does something negative, everyone pays for their mistake. There are many people with the unwillingness to learn in upper positions which take the credit for tasks and achievements that were performed by lower level employees.

Pros

Pay, but then again most service companies pay well

Cons

One sided management. Experience does not count, degree only does. Family life or home time not there unless upper manager. Travel is okay but only economy seating while managers sit in business or first class. Older you are the faster they want you out

Pros

Travel opportunities, training and development opportunities. Good health benefits Good resume builder

Cons

Big company syndrome, little opportunities to grow in career. Management tends to be aloof, thinking only of themselves and forgetting the company is driven by the lower ranking employee's talents Lots of attrition, losing very talented and good people because of previous ill handled situations
