Pros

A pay check. Benefits from the first day. Employment during a recession. First job out of high school. Great on campus cafe. Fairly safe location.

Cons

Unhappy co workers. Overworked supervisors. Low quality training. Out of date computer system - AS 400. Required to use several sessions of Excel and Access just to get the work load done, because these programs are used as "work arounds" because the Main frame system is so limited.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
