Pros
A lot of the staff is pretty friendly if you make an effort to speak to them outside of work;
Cons
Have to "ask permission" to leave on time (or 20 min "late") "Being sick is a right" and taking sick days leads to suspicion/guilt trips No office culture - headphones aren't allowed, talking about non-work related things is frowned upon, hanging out with coworkers outside of work has to be secretive, no breaks allowed to take care of personal business, etc. Management will often promise things without knowing what is going on creating a lot of unnecessary/unhelpful work "just to show we are working". Hard to break through to management with suggestions to improve general work quality. If any improvements cost money they are unlikely to be approved. Work is either not done quickly enough or not done with enough quality. Will be spoken to nearly weekly with the problems rotating between the two extremes. No reviews/pay raises. Promised to happen yearly but when asked about it is never the right time to discuss it.
