Pros

Benefits, holidays,pension,allow you take learning classes related to job

Cons

No job security.Charge employees $500+ a year for parking. Management is snobbish. No incentive to be an exceptional employee-bad workers and good workers receive the same the same raises and same treatment as good workers. Seniority based-they will layoff a great worker and keep a slacker.

Pros

Good and talented coworkers. And they sometimes credit experience over credentials. Pay with insurance is hard to complain about :)

Cons

That the surface reflects all is great but behind the scenes some employees suffer in silence. It does not need to be this way.
