      Pros

      The pay is good for a second job. The facility is clean and well lit. The building and equipment are fairly new.

      Cons

      Unless you have a personal relation with management, there is no chance of advancement. All upper level positions are promised to someone before the positions are posted. The job postings are then written in such language that taters the job for the person they want. Pay raises are based on how well your manager likes you. Actual job performance is not considered when giving pay raises. If you question anything said or done by management, they will find some way of forcing you out of the company.

      If corporate politics is your thing...

      Pros

      Large corporation benefits, stability. They have a gorgeous corporate headquarters with a stream and waterfall in it. Nice cafeteria. Cubicle country though, only officers of the company have offices.

      Cons

      HIGHLY POLITICAL. Watch your backside there, trust few people, be prepared to be a brown noser to get to the top. Things are shaken up there so frequently that people have a tendency to stay scared in their positions.
