Pros

They are a large company with solid support and good recognition in the marketplace. Their benefits are good enough for a head of family earner.

Cons

The downsides would include a difficult to interpret pay plan, along with a desensitized company culture. These cons are not deal killers, however.

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
