Pros

Free World of Warcraft account with occasional bonus goodies. Free soft drinks. Mostly interesting coworkers. You get to say you work for Blizzard. It's a REALLY easy job, and it seemed very easy to get hired.

Cons

When I worked there, temporary employees were hired through a staffing service. The pay was only slightly above minimum wage, but I didn't need all that much money. After a few months, and a bunch of good reviews from management, papers were supposedly submitted to make me a full time employee. Several months later, I was still a temp and hadn't received any raise or further information about my promotion. I asked several times about the promotion and was told it should happen "any day" several times over the course of 3 or 4 months. Eventually, I got tired of the runaround and got a better paying job elsewhere. After I quit, one of my friends who still worked there was told by our manager that my promotion was about to come through "any day". At one of my employee reviews, I was told that I had exceeded the number of acceptable call-ins, which wasn't true. Another employee had a similar name to mine, and their absence was put under my name. I had to prove to my boss that I was there by forwarding him some emails I sent to other team members at work that day.

Pros

You get to wear what you like, you get a free subscription, you get free soda, and great benefits are included.

All promotions are based off of office politics and brown nosing. People who have alot to offer are often overlooked for teachers pet.

Pros

Free t-shirts and statues. The cafeteria is ok, too. The people that are there love that they're working on something that Blizzard is going. However, they don't stay long as its hard to support a family in Southern California on the pay that's provided.

Cons

Pay is lousy for how much you are expected to work.
