Pros

Able to work from home a few days a week. That's really the ONLY Pro.

Cons

They 'lay-off' 100+ people every year. You'll eventually be one of them. Most IT are contractors from another country that sends a lot of IT folks each year to the US under H1-B visas.... Management will rarely talk to you, unless they are going to a meeting, then they will quiz you about everything so they appear to know what they are talking about in the meeting...you know, the meeting you should have been invited to, but you weren't...... Managers are basically clueless. They hire good people underneath them, then take all of the credit when projects go well. Managers will also promote only the people they like, so it won't matter how good you are, if they don't like you, you won't go up, get a good raise, and will eventually be laid off.

Pros

A majority of the employees were great to work with. Benefits are great while you're in the union.

Cons

inconsistent hours, horrible pay, unsafe working conditions due to building is actually falling apart. No discipline or accountability for emplyees who refuse to follow company policies. Corporate impossible to get in touch with.
