Pros

Good company parties, supervisors work closely with you, coworkers are willing to help when confused with the work. This is a job you could get comfortable in, not super demanding and looks good on resume to get you the job you really want. Easy work.

Cons

Huge employee turnover--not only with contractors, but with full-time employees and even managers/directors. Employees in high positions pretended like you didn't exist. Coworkers were constantly talking about how they wish they could find a better job, how unhappy they are to be at work that day. Very little room for growth, low pay, repetitive/tedious work. Extremely unprofessional supervisors (showing up late or not showing up at all for days without notifying employees that they will be out, crossing boundaries). Not much variety in what you do every day, and people seem generally unhappy there! A lot of gossip, inappropriate conversations in the office (HR nightmare).

Pros

You will learn enough information to move on to a better career.

Cons

Unrealistic goals. No advancement. Understaffed. You have two 15 minute scheduled breaks and a 30 minute scheduled lunch BUT if you have to go to the bathroom outside those times that time is docked from your pay. There are a lot of rules, unfortunately some supervisors don't enforce them and other supervisors go to extreme.

Pros

Decent pay. Job will keep you busy. Coworkers (some)

Cons

Supervisors are not leaders, pressure is put on you everyday even when you are doing great, while they are chatting on their cellphones walking around outside and rarely in their office to answer questions or when a call needs to be transferred. You can have the highest productivity and get all work done, but still get in trouble if there’s nothing to pick on you about, even going as far as threatening your job, losing a bonus because of bathroom times that are “too long” in your supervisors eyes. 10 minutes out of a 8.5 hour day was enough to get called into the office for even with a doctors note. If you miss work due to being in the hospital and had filed an FMLA, that time off will still be used against you when looking for reasons to “let you go” when really supervisors have their favorites and treat anyone else who doesn’t fit that category as disposable. supervisor was very innapropirste during huddles and would talk rudely about other staff and departments, and would share personal opinions about public issues with no regulars or sensitivity to their employees who may feel differently.
