Pros

Given opportunities to advance. Good pay, descent benefits, flexible hours.

Cons

Management doesn't care about anything but the numbers. Required overtime due to poor decision making. HR is non-existent and protective of management. Lots of micromanaging and promoted managers that suck at management/no previous experience. No employee recognition whatsoever. Very fake management.
