Pros

Benefits are phenominal. Great office atmosphere. Excellent opportunities for community involvement. Structured workplace environment. Recognition for a job well done.

Cons

Management (corporate) is unaware of your workload. Individual knows more about how to do their job than immediate supervisor. When employees file formal complaint, HR does not do their research before acting on complaint. Employees are underpaid (Troy is considered a "low-cost center"). Employees are not given enough time to complete job, but are denied charging overtime. No structure when implementing new system.
