Pros

Employee discount. No overtime you get to leave on time.

Cons

Its all about the numbers and not enough employee appreciation for the hard work you do. Very hostile work environment. Management makes you feel incompetent. High turn over rate. Don't waste your time as there is no room for growth. Pay is not enough for the work you do.

Hard work is always rewarded with more hard work

Pros

The paychecks always clear the bank and there's a fair amount of support from other locations when needed.

Cons

There's a major lack of support from upper management...like a big gaping hole. If you need anything its an act of Congress....so we have to work 3 times as hard to get the job done but it no overtime. Also....if you're interested in the tuition assistance program...technically you're eligible on your first day on the job....however this is not the case.
