Pros

It is a great place to work if you know how to "play the game". You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and show how valuable you are to the organization and in return you will achieve financial rewards.

Cons

It is extremely political. You can be the hardest worker in the building, but if you do not get the "nod" from the management team you will not see promotions or raises.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
