Pros

Loved the people I worked with. Pay wasn't to bad. Benefits were okay.

Cons

Never got the recognition you deserve. Management was atrocious. Office people got treated better than the workers on the floor doing the hard work. Sometimes very long hours. Measly breaks. Run down facility. Rats, roaches, spiders. Located behind the pinellas county jail. No pay increase this year, upper management got theirs. Usually 1% pay increase.
