Pros

None what so ever!!! Even if I try I cant think of anything positive.

Cons

Toxic office atmosphere between new and old employees. Zero training given and expected to be able to resolve cases assigned to you. Our supervisor literally shrugged her shoulders and turned her back on me when I came to her with an issue. Poor work life balance with hours of 2pm - 11:30pm Thursday - Tuesday. No weekends off without applying for holidays. Even though I was told that that I would have every second weekend off when I started. All managers on sight went home between 3pm and 5pm Monday to Friday. Absolutely no supervisor on sight after five Monday to Friday and none at all at the weekend. Wages are just above the living standard pay scale.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
