Pros

Large company with lots of training resources. Good benefits plan. Some really good people.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic. Took months for people to get the tools they needed for their jobs. Constant playing with financials to try and show profitability. Expected to be on call all the time, with no compensation for it. Part of it is the industry, but you really feel like a tool for the company, and someone's bonus plan.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
