Pros

The job is steady (somewhat -- see 'cons'), pay and benefits are decent. Depennding on the supervisor you have, work life can be pleasant or miserable.

Cons

The business has been changing so much over the past 5 - 10 years that you're always wondering when (not IF) your job or office will be outsourced or eliminated. Employees and tasks are constantly being shuffled to increase the bottom line. It is a business and that may be what needs to be done to stay afloat; however, it seems as though employees are treated merely as a number or a statistic.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
