Pros

If you are desperate for a job and just need a paycheck then this is a good job for you. Pay is $12.95 an hour plus $4 an hour for benefits, but you have to use that money for benefits like healthcare and 401k. If you are making minimum wage now, with no benefits then this is a good job for you. Supervisors and managers on site are not bad, it seems like everyone above them is asinine and insane.

Cons

It is possible to work your way up, but be careful because the closer you get to corporate the more frightening it gets. Being a GC1 you can come in, put in your headphones, get your work done and go home, no stress, no drama. If you work any job above a GC1 prepare to be amazed by lack of training, leadership, or just plain knowledge of anyone around you. The people on site are knowledgeable, but their hands seemed tied by those at corporate, I have heard some SCARY stories about those that work at corporate that literally SCREAM at their subordinates on the phone. No one should be treated that way. It seems to me that corporate thinks they are God's gift to earth and everyone else is a an expendable slave. The work is physical. If you can not stand or sit for long periods of time, or lift a 40 lb. box repeatedly then this is not a job for you. Definitely not a "typical" work environment as you are inside a government facility. Heavily micromanaged- but this comes from corporate, you can't really fault your supervisor

Pros

There really isn't one, they are a huge company and they treat you like the nobody that you are to them. Constantly find ways to make more money and take more away from the employee. There are great employees who go above and beyond and don't get recognized for their contributions, its unfortunate how much we are taken for granted.

Cons

hit ceilings quick, pay terrible and don't have opportunity, terrible benefits. Management doesn't care about employees and HR is horrible!!!
