Pros

It was a job. I got a paycheck.

Cons

From day one I knew I made a mistake leaving my old job for this one. The coworkers were unwelcoming and excluded newcomers. To make matters worse my boss was condescending and rude if I asked any questions. If I tried to contribute anything in a meeting I was looked at like I was an idiot. The worst part though, I worked there for 3 months and NEVER DID ANY WORK. I was never given anything to do. What? I sat at my cube for 9 hours a day doing literally nothing. I'd ask for work, but my boss was so rude and aloof she would just tell me to read the website. No wonder, when I got let go it was for my 'work product being unsatisfactory'. What work product?! I was never given a chance to prove my skills.
