Busy work you to death

Pros

Decent pay benefits and plenty of work.

Cons

No work life balance for supervisors or management and they are not concerned with making it better. Lots of useless processes that come down from Area or corporate that create busy work. They load you up with so much busy work and useless B.S. that you can't manage your department. Lots of management meetings of nothing but people rambling on about useless info. They want to write action plans about everything. I've spent time on vacation doing action plans and useless busy work to meet deadlines. Then when you say something about having to work while on vacation, they tell you you should have cancelled your vacation. Really? After work how many 80 hour weeks for how long? Some as much as 90 hours with no days off for weeks at a time. No thanks my life has improved 1000% since leaving that cluster.

Pros

Medical benefits offered, potential advancement if at corporate office. Stay away from other locations.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance, long hours expected and not acknowledged. Managers and even HR are not professional and gossip about everyone and each other

Pros

Good benefits, excellant co-workers, subsidized lunches, employee discounts. Cafeteria plan health insurance, 401k match, life insurance, short term and long term disability. A company that seems to really care about it's employees and work life balance.

Cons

Having to wait 90 days for health insurance to go into effect.
