Pros
CHQ: Job security and great coworkers. If you want to keep your head down, and wait for retirement, this is a good spot. Otherwise I recommend you choose another place.
Cons
CHQ: FYI - no work from home, or flexibility even they they will claim there is flexibility Old boys club. The company does not want to hear anything negative. If you say something other than what they want to hear, they will tell you there is something wrong with you for not participating. They have an anti retaliation policy. That works if you're not the one being retaliated against but if you are - it isn't true, and you will absolutely be retaliated against. There is nowhere to turn since there is no HR. You have no safety net to protect you, and it will be your word against the Sr Manager, because they are tasked to interpret and enforce state and federal HR laws. Managers do what they want and since they are all friends, they won't do anything against their friends. People will yell at you, and call you names, and harrass you. Nothing will be done. If you want to keep your head down, and just do what you are told then you will probably do fine here. If you want to have a healthy workplace, go somewhere else. Do not stand up for your rights, or go against management unless you want to hire a lawyer. No one else will help you. and they won't make any changes unless they are legally required. They count on people not knowing their rights, and also on the fact that the pay is so low that people can't afford lawyers. Also: STAY AWAY FROM SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION AT ALL COSTS
