Pros

It was a job. I got a paycheck.

Cons

From day one I knew I made a mistake leaving my old job for this one. The coworkers were unwelcoming and excluded newcomers. To make matters worse my boss was condescending and rude if I asked any questions. If I tried to contribute anything in a meeting I was looked at like I was an idiot. The worst part though, I worked there for 3 months and NEVER DID ANY WORK. I was never given anything to do. What? I sat at my cube for 9 hours a day doing literally nothing. I'd ask for work, but my boss was so rude and aloof she would just tell me to read the website. No wonder, when I got let go it was for my 'work product being unsatisfactory'. What work product?! I was never given a chance to prove my skills.

Pros

If you like working with people who are trying to find a job, this is the place for you. There are many state programs to help them as well as a very large computer lab for them to use with many customer support people to help them navigate the Workforce system as well as employer websites and applications.

Cons

Very busy place. Lots going on. You will be on your feet most of the time.
