Pros

The people there are awesome to work with. I had mentor that challenged me to great achievements. These last years were something I will always take with me and smile about. I was also privileged to have some amazing Managers. Long term benefits are nice, ie 401k health, dental.

Cons

Absorbing amount of work load is handed down to one and placing extreme amount of pressure to get job done in rush time. Economic rise in apartments trippling, food, school care and daily needs it made it impossible to live on. Note some areas are less costly but even in the outline areas over 60% of wage was going to just an apartment payment.

Pros

Monday thru Friday no weekends and holidays paid.

Cons

Low information Management teams. No common sense, no vision and planning is ridiculous. Strong educated people are shunned in favor of low information types. An employee with a masters in HR and experience with a large corporation was place in a loan supervisory position when she had no loan experience, then they berated her for being stupid about loans! 2 weeks later HR hired someone with no education or experience in HR for their dept. (instead of a employee with a masters in HR who wanted the job.) The didn't want any educated HR people it seems.
