Pros

PTO - you start off with 4 weeks then add 3 days every 5 years

Cons

The bigger they get the less they care about staff. No work/life balance. Upper management plays favorites. Not a good place to work anymore. Forget trying to advance and grow even if you ask for more training. If you are bogged down you are told you need to manage your time better. Most departments won’t let you get overtime so work just keeps piling up. You can’t get help.
