Pros

............ ...... It's a paycheck.

Cons

Forced to work mandatory overtime. Raises get skipped yearly. Upper management does not care about anything but themselves. Very hard to use vacation time. Only allow 3 people off per area. Request need to be put in 9 months in advance in order to get a day off. Once in area you are not allowed to move. The require degrees to advance. An art degree is worth more then 20 years of experience.

Pros

Pay is decent for a job you don't interview for, and asks very little of you intellectually and physically

Cons

Toxic inter-departmental culture, lots of on-the-job racism, animosity toward new employees is incredibly blatant and makes what should be an easy and relatively mindless job excruciating to walk into every day. Most days, I encountered 4-6 hours of downtime out of an 8 hour day except at the end of the month when they'd ask you to stay as late as 5-7 hours past your regular end-of-day. Symptomatic of poor management. They have also been losing some of their important contracts. Future does not look bright here.
