Pros

The pay and benefits and cheap rooms

Cons

Managers befriending workers. Same as any workplace. Not all are treated the same if your not tight with management. Protocol is the apron management hides behind when there is a clash of personalities. Good employees that dont kiss butt are pushed aside like dirty laundry. Also snooping is prevalent in your private life through social media sites. Thats just wrong. They state one credo for employees but operate by another. As with any other place of employment some places are good to work and others not so good. I am sad that I ended up in one of the bad ones after my transfer. I know that when I give my notice they will want to make things right but so sad to say too late!
