Pros

Benefits effective on first day of employment Yearly bonus

Cons

No opportunity for advancement, uless you're having an affair with a VP or director, then a position is created for you. A lot of favoritism. As a favorite employee they are placed in positions they aren't qualified for and then delegate work. If you are approved for intermittent FMLA and take your approves time off you will be terminated for some other reason unrelated to your FMLA and with no proof for termination. Leave department openly discusses claims with other employees. Making open jokes about employees with mental health claims. Management turns a blind eye to their favorite employees but go out of their way to address other employees who they dislike.
