Pros

I was so excited to work for this large company and anticipated a lot of growth potential. I like the industry and the direction the company is going. They paid well and had a good benefit program. Management was very warm, it felt like a family environment until I kept having more and more work piled on me

Cons

The division I worked in was understaffed/under managed and I was left to do multiple jobs with no extra pay and no possibility of promotion. Once you are hired, you can hope for a 1.5% pay increase annually no matter what you do to try to succeed. I have also never been sick so much in my life. There was more harmful garbage inside the building than outside in the landfill.
