Red tape -- so much ineffeciency -- internal bureaucracy can be stiffling Educational market is very soft Merit play often does not keep up with inflation -- annual increases for employees doing satisfactory or sometimes extraordinary work does not outpace the rising cost of living

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
