Business Outlook

Pros

Stable job at the location I worked at. Co-workers were good to work with. Other IT people in different locations are good to work with.

Cons

Upper corporate management will lie through their teeth all the time. Virtually no opportunity to advance unless you are in with the right people. Max raise per year is 3-5% unless you take a different position. Review ratings are capped at a 3 out of 5 on their scale per corporate policy no matter how good you do your job or how much extra work you do.
