Pros

Good place to work as a temp or part-time before deciding on a career in social studies/research.

Cons

Managers treat subordinates like they are as stupid as them. No respect for subordinates' work or time. Very difficult to transfer (lateral promotion) to another department (even if been there for years). Not much room for advancement.
