Pros

They pay you. Not a living wage, but they pay you. And because they pay you so little, they pay you every week, which is good, because you need to be paid every week to do things like survive.

Cons

The entry level job pays $30,000, non negotiable. You are stuck at that rate for at least 1 year, without being able to change departments or receive promotion. Many of the benefits don't kick in until after a year, and if you last that long, you're probably stuck there.

Pros

- They'll take fresh college grads even in this economy - Pays the bills (assuming you live the life of a hermit) and has decent benefits - Gives you a reason to get up in the morning

Cons

- Meritocricy means nothing, seniority takes precedence over competence, initiative, and preformance in considerations for bonuses and promotions - You WILL be managed by people who are clearly incompetent/stupid/insecure, and have been there for ages since they literally have no where else to go, and they know that - Easy to be stuck in the back office trap, especially when most people around you have no ambition to do anything else and actually think they are "playing the corporate game" - The work is basically glorified data entry, and future employers know that
