Pros

Job security (it's about impossible to get fired), PTO is adequate, pay scale is mostly on par with industry standard

Cons

Job security is only good if you want the job. This place is littered with bad employees, bad attitudes, and poor work ethics. This is tolerated and no discipline is ever handed out. The few good employees are worked to death and are expected to pick up the slack for others. Management is awful. They are prone to frequent swearing, bullying, and manipulation. Temper tantrums are commonplace. Despite claims of fairness, they are anything but that. They turn a blind eye to the issues within the company and refuse to address employee-related problems. So many people are blood relation to management and are not held accountable for their actions. The human resources department is powerless, inept, or both. The handbook is absolutely useless and is not followed or enforced, unless convenient to do so. This all creates a hostile and unprofessional work environment. Beyond the issues with the workplace environment and management, there is very little training, very little opportunity to move up, and very little earning potential. Raises are rare and don't even cover cost of living increases. The few pros of this job are vastly outweighed by all the cons you will have to put up with as an employee here.
