Pros

Reasonable Pay. Nice Building. Great location

Cons

There is no space. They will cram you in any square inch they have available. Parking sucks. They have all the management parking close to the entrance which sit empty a lot of the time. Regular parking fills up behind this to the point you are forced to park as far away as the Gym like quarter mile away. Not much in the way of advancement prospects

Pros

Salary and benefits are great. The company is moving toward standardizing operations at all divisions and working to create a positive customer experience.

Cons

The overarching company philosophy is not translating down to the local divisions. They are working to change that but at some local levels there are major problems. My work days start around 5am and usually end around 7pm. There are safety concerns and a "get the garbage up at any cost" mentality that can be detrimental to quality of life and safety.
