Pros

Not very many pros, to be honest. Lots of vacation, though.

Cons

Canon does not seem to take into account previous experience when seeking for internal advancement.

Pros

Stability is the main reason for staying at this center. Maybe the only reason. Management can't find their fanny with both hands.

Cons

Management is very confused. Policies (even though written down in the employee handbook) change when moved from department to department, all based upon the managers opinion. You name it, attendance, call-out, worker performance policies, they all change. Next is the way management treats their employees. The claim that everyone is "family". This is laughable. Most, not all, management would rather belittle a person than help them along. Several female managers from the LPB era are notorious for making condescending remarks in front of large groups of people. It seems these individuals enjoy this activity. Last, the notion of "family" is more like incest because they will bend you over in a minute.
