Pros

You can get a full understanding and learn all about a hostile work environment. It's better than being in prison. You can go home everyday, most of the time.

Cons

Worst possible job I have had in my 35 years on the workforce. I regret ever working a single second there. Beware, heed my advice, run away, no matter how desperate you are for a job. I'm a highly decorated veteran, and I worked high up in management there and saw first hand the absolute atrocities inflicted upon people there. The corruption is deep deep deep, and I dont see any possible way to ameliorate it. I have to pick one star to rate this place, because zero or negative isn't an option.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
