Pros

Large company will well organization benefits program. Very organization collateral on program, policies, procedures, etc.

Cons

Somewhat of a body-shop. If not the prime contractor, the staff will discover that the company regards the staff as butts-in-seats.

Pros

Relaxed dress code, variety of hours are great for work/life balance

Cons

Soon as you start they began laying off, the supervisors have no idea what they are doing as far as "supervising" is concerned. No paper, no pens, no cells phones on the floor. Quality sucks point blank. A lot of gossiping and nosiness involved. Training does not help with half of the situations that you come in contact with over the phone. Rate of pay could be inceased for the amount of work that is expected.
