Pros

Specific to my position and management only. The position was unique and non-standard from other positions in the company as a added value to their clients. Management was easy to get along with and was open to communication. Compensation was not in-line with other positions like mine. benefits provided an employee were the same for all employees and tiered only by salaried and non-salaried employees. Learning and development was a process as they wanted to see employees invest themselves before paying up front costs unless it was a requirement for the clients needs, otherwise it was reimbursement. Free training came in the form of bi-weekly pamphlets or booklets on interesting yet centric to core business education. Salaried positions were certainly allowed greater flexibility with their work.

Cons

Asking for COLA or like compensation increases was always meet with a no, so a Union averse organization. Favoritism was there yet minimal. Learning and development was far from laudable. There was limited ability to advance in company or gain footing towards other paths of career advancement.

Pros

If you get placed at a big client site you get most of the good perks of working for the company (Better pay, better insurance deals and better hours). Free uniforms. Easy job usually. Good for work experience. The only reason I'd recommend this job to anybody is that it's really just a easy paycheck. If you can't find anything better than it's alright. Just make sure you don't let anything go wrong with the location you are working at and you can be employed until you die.

Cons

Expect late checks when you start and continue to expect them if direct deposit is not available. Expect to have your hours cut if it will save a little bit of money. Don't expect a promotion. Don't expect a pay increase (Unless the company some how gets a pay increase and even then it's probably no going to be passed on to you. Crappy uniforms and long wait times to get replacement uniforms. Backstabbing is almost encouraged. Unless you can find a group of people who will look after each other you will basically be on your own. Hard work is appreciated but not acknowledged (Don't put in extra effort if you don't have to as they will both get the same outcome). Expect to be talked down to and sometimes berated (Whether jokingly or intentionally).
