Pros

Most people are nice, lots of vacation days, flexible with hours, lots of "fun" things to participate in (United Way, Diversity, etc.)

Cons

Low salaries (60-70 for people in supervisor roles with MBA's and 10+ years experience), limited opportunites to go up any higher than supervisor, reviews are a joke (typically a percentage point or two for pay increases unless you are one of a handful), most people just happy to do the same job for years on end and just coast by, boring jobs, make mountains out of molehills, basically find one negative thing that you did and that becomes a huge deal on your review

Pros

Plenty of time off to work your second job. The young women who are routinely promoted over more qualified candidates tend to wear revealing clothes. You are awarded free movie tickets fairly often so you don't have to dip into your grocery money to go out. Convenient location so you don't have to drive your crappy old car to far. Awesome place for herd animals.

Cons

Honesty or original thinking will get you blackballed.
