Pros

Health services Cafeteria food is great Clean restrooms

Cons

Many of us were hired under false pretenses. We were told the position would be temp-to-hire, but after starting (and some turned down other positions) it came out that this was absolutely temporary with no option for permanent hire. We were not informed of this until a conversation about academics came up, and although we were brought on with associates degrees, we were told only those with bachelors could be permanent employees. Contractors aren't privileged to participate in ANYthing. Discount tickets are constantly advertised, but contractors aren't allowed to purchase. Free BBQ was brought in for employee appreciation week, contractors were turned away. They stuck 25 of us in a room, on tables (not desks or cubicles), with electrical cords hanging from the ceiling. The only time we saw our direct manager was when he was yelling at us to produce more. He would send the team lead to do some of his dirty work such as telling us something else had changed (at least once per day, sometimes as many as 4 times per day). When the manager was approached to ask about progress, and if we were meeting the daily and weekly goals to achieve the overall goal, we were told "things are fine, just keep working". Many refused to even give notice, because they would be shamed ("we're losing another one, more work for everyone else") or other unprofessional embarrassments. I was given a badge to get in my ONLY the front door. Then I was ticketed for parking in the front parking lot. When I went to security to inquire, it was removed from my employee record (yes, really), and I was THEN given a parking sticker for my vehicle. I could go on and on about the poor treatment, but these examples should suffice.

Pros

Decent pay, onsite cafeteria, easy work, opportunity for overtime, decent amount of PTO, paid holidays, laid back, overall good atmosphere.

Cons

Rude management, constantly watched by management and upper management, (seems as if they’re hoping you will fail so they can punish you), promotions often not given to hard working employees, and instead positions are given to employees from outside of the company, hence the title of this review. Expected to complete tasks that are above what your job title entails, with no recognition. Unprofessional management, nobody seems to follow through with what they say, and nobody cares to try and keep their employees.
