Pros

A paycheck. That is it.

Cons

Where does one even begin? - Unqualified management who only manage up - Layers upon layers of bureaucracy. Nothing ever gets done efficiently or correctly - Poor titles and general role clarity - Terrible, outdated processes (if there are any at all?) - Outdated technologies (everything breaks, constantly) - Management who will throw you under bus in a heartbeat - Management that takes credit for their employees work - Management that plays favorites with their employees - Unfriendly and untrustworthy co-workers (can’t blame them, as it’s just a side effect of an unhealthy workplace) - High impact decisions made off ‘feelings’ and not facts or data - No accountability placed on Managers (they’ll blame someone who makes 3 times less than them, instead) - Negative work environment, where people are extremely unhappy - They don't care about previous experience or skills. You either act like management's dog, and play by their rules, or you will be labeled as 'uncooperative' or 'confrontational' or some other ridiculous word meant to demoralize you to the point you have lost all your self worth. In that sense, it's like being a slave or infantry. If you like being abused and want to lose your career confidence—work here. If you are looking for something more fulfilling in a career and don’t feel like being miserable everyday—do not work here.

Pros

The training is very thorough and extensive. They take security seriously. You are supported when you’re a new hire. There are ways to be involved and feel included in the company. Information is readily available to help you.

Cons

It is a job that can lead to a lot of stress. It can be very fast paced. There are a lot of policies, procedures and information to remember. Should have proficient computer skills to be successful with this position..
