Pros

decent benefits, job is not too far to get to, hours beat most of traffic

Cons

under paid for amount of work, no respect, treated as replaceable, no cohesion with upper management, constantly looking for reasons to fire people, minimal opportunity for career growth. HR is not on your side and protects upper management. Complaints against anyone that is a position above an ACT go unnoticed or disregarded.
