Pros

The location had a gym and a decent cafeteria.

Cons

The monopoly that is Southern Company is terrible. The feudal system under which contract workers there operate is entirely unfair. The nepotism of this place is ridiculous. The mere notion that you would have someone work a contract position anywhere from 10-15 years and yet you offer permanent positions to underqualified new contract workers simply because they have family that are employees is terrible. This company has 100's of contractors that make up 50-55% of their staff and yet these people are strung along for years and treated like sub standard human beings. Fortunately, I negotiated a decent wage with my contractor, so it made the politics worth my time. However, this was only for a short while.
