Pros

They provide a decent benefits package including health, pension, and 401k. They also encourage self development within your current position. In addition, they do allow carrer advancement but sometimes its based on politics rather than qualifications.

Cons

In my current position there is ALOT of micro management. Sometimes they are so worried about the smallest details that they crucify individuals for even the smallest mistakes. Therefore, they loose sight of the big picture. They are also very indecisive on ALOT of issues. Something that we should be empowered to handle ourselves they would rather CYA and pass the decision up the management chain.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
