Pros

Some people like the downtown location. Full time employees can get free tuition for some courses and discounts on most. There are many dedicated workers on the staff.

Cons

The highest level of managers are only interested in protecting their high pay and retirement benefits. No path for advancement. There is alot of money wasted on bad decisions especially in buying equipment that is not needed or not right for the project. When employees suggest improvements, they get in trouble with the bosses and some have been fired for trying. Employee morale is very low because nobody can seem to find a way to improve.
