It's okay for a while.

Pros

You can easily live close by and avoid long commutes. They have a very difficult time attracting talent so it's possible to get hired into a job that is above your skill level. So this place can be a good stepping stone to advance your career.

Cons

Lots of turnover, it's embarrassing. Changed supervisor 4 times in 5 years. Once your on payroll don't expect your salary to keep up. Negotiate high start otherwise you'll soon be below and the only way is to find another job. No advancement opportunities, especially in technology. Don't fall for the profit sharing bonus in lieu of pay scam. If they have too many openings they boost the bonuses 12 months before they launch a big career fair then they brag about the payouts. Once they have the headcount quotas met the bonus disappear. HR isn't forthcoming about this.

Pros

Very straight forward and easy hiring process as they are running out of warm bodies in the area that will work for them. If you have problems passing a drug test you can probably find a job here as the last I knew they have no drug testing policies.

Cons

Do not come here if you are an administrative professional, it is a terrible career move. This place is the complete wild west with the most arrogant unapproachable leadership team you will find. When Director level HR people from places like Harley are brought in and are running for the doors less than a year later, it's obvious this place has major culture problems.
