Pros

decent pay; decent benefits; very good professional development opportunities

inefficient processes; current supervisor is a bit of a wet blanket; it is a thankless job when your customers would rather not partake in your services; no annual Cost of Living Adjustment and performance - based raises are a joke (as in %1-2% every 3 years)
