Pros

Four day work week. No out of pocket expenses for anything. Lots of overtime if wanted. Lots of vacation time allotted.

Cons

Management is lazy. No real ability to move up in the company. Lots of hiring management from outside the company. Personal problems become work problems. NO positive reinforcement, company is very low on moral.

Pros

You are well compensated for the work.

Cons

1. Ten hour mindless days. 2. 40 hours a week in a chair looking at a computer talking to some very 'unique' individuals. 3. The Inactivity!

Pros

- lots of experience and cross training due to revolving door of employees - Most managers hate the ones above them, so there are some good first line managers that watch out for their people - Reasonable time off as long as you don't plan on being gone more than a few days at a time - I had a cool boss so I was treated pretty well, but had to watch the train wrecks around me

Cons

- Initial offer was laughable. They tried to offer what I had asked for when applying for a job 6 years ago, and I had to justify why they should even match my previous salary. - Benefits are horrible, hope your spouse has a better plan - Work from home? No. Never. If it's a BLIZZARD is expected you will get a "be prepared" email from HR. Their answer to avoid danger on the roads is to stay at hotel by the office. - Charlie sticks his head into way too many meetings and doesn't trust his employees. That's why you hire experts. - They are proud of never having layoffs. Instead they do mass firings and make up a performance number that everyone is supposed to hit (changes with each firing). This way they don't pay unemployment.
