Pros

If you can handle the pressure and attacks the pay isn't bad

Cons

If they ask for your honest feedback and they don't like what they hear they will find a way to get you out. Their expectations for quality quantity for new employees is not realistic

Pros

Great benefits, which is nice because salaries are less than annual averages.

Cons

This could have simply been my department, but mistakes were never forgotten, no matter how large or small. Promotions and job recommendations were given to friendlies instead of the most qualified.
