I hired out my work product, not my person as your property.

Pros

Not a single one, this job was full of lies and tricks. The Supervisors are good at selling snake oil, though.

Cons

Expected to pay for the privilege of having a job (lucky me!!). Hired for 1st shift but constantly scheduled for 3rd shift with pay too low to cover overnight child care, despite supervisor promises of reimbursement and 'it won't happen again'. Not once EVER did I have access to my pay stubs or W-2 forms. Was told to add more web browsers to my personal computer to solve the problem (the tech lead insisted Firefox and Mozilla [Modzilla as he called it] were two different browsers). Gossip is treated as gospel. Vindictive and demeaning behaviors used on employees by management who also insist you are the vindictive and abusive one. Inept support personnel refuse to solve issues and blame you for their failings. You have an HR rep, but no one will tell you who that is. EthicsPoint reporting system used to punish employees who register complaints.

Don't you believe it!

Pros

Supposed ability to use professional judgment at work. Meet a lot of nice and interesting people.

Cons

Lies and threats the management tool of choice. Employee survey results not shared as promised. No single promise is kept. Ever. It is beyond disappointing. Mileage under pays. Computations under report, too much unpaid use of 'home time' for work. Require employee to call job sites, print papers, fill out forms, scan forms into a computer, use home internet and property, fax at own expense and all off the clock...
