      Pros

      Salary and benefits, some great hourly employees that really care.

      Cons

      Many management employees do absolutely nothing and still keep their jobs. Long term employees are like dinosaurs, they refuse to give up their ways and accept change. There is no teamwork or compromise, even though they preach it every day. When you try to discuss it with your supervisor you get the run around and are told to "be patient it will get better." I doesn't and it never will. One of the biggest problems is managements failure to recognize and reward hourly employees that go above and beyond. They are experts at taking exceptional employees and turning them into disgruntled mediocre workers.
