Pros

Great co-workers, nice campus with amenities, good pay but not competitive.

Cons

The main con was the oppressive workload and you never got to unplug from work - Management sent emails/texts night and day, weekends, and even when on PTO (aka Pretend Time Off here) with responses/actions expected right away. With few exceptions, the 'worker bee' workload is suffocating and unreasonable.

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
