Pros

* Close to home * Free meals at work * Flexible schedule

Cons

* Under Market pay - when inflation went up 8-10% in the past year, I got a 4% raise (good performance). * Can never advance at a unit level unless someone leaves a job, or if you want to move to a different unit. Also, I don't qualify for higher level lateral moves in corporate because when I was hired, my title was set to a more entry level job, even though I have 25 years experience. It would be up to the client to give me a promotion, and honestly, I don't think my boss cares enough to advocate for me. * Because the pay rates are so low, I get to hire bottom-of-the-barrel employees who will work for cheap. I literally spend most of my time trying to get them to actually do work. * Higher level management apparently have an alliance so they pat each other on the back all the time but don't extend that appreciation to the people actually doing the work. * I get kudos all the time from my regional team but somehow my manager and her boss don't hear it

Corporate representatives were caring and kind, and tried to work with you.

High stress, high workload, lots of company initiatives that were being pushed. Lack of staffing made it difficult.
