Pros

Good benefits, generally good people, good products and financial strength to offer to the consumer

Cons

Silos everyone protects the area they're in, lots of back stabbers, have to know how to play the political game or you get poor reviews. In consistent application of rules, such as telecommuting, senior managers don't know or appreciate what subordinates are really doing

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
