Pros

The union and benefits package.

Cons

This place will get rid of anyone that figures out management is a problem (join the union). They will discriminate against anyone they don't like and will make up false statements. The fish stinks from the head down here with many complicit middle managers that nobody likes that are also very incompetent. This place has created a culture of fear and toxic environment with complicit individuals.
