Pros

Education support, Great teams, Great benefits. If you want it and are willing to work for it there are many opportunities here.

Cons

They are not going to hand it to you. You need to have your basics down before you reach for more responsibility. Many people are content to do the first part but not the work for the second. Yes, they will reimburse you for that work-related class you take outside of work -- but you have to take the class! Too many co-workers are content to sit and whine. It's sad because the issue is not that they are not talented, it's that they never stretch and show management they are hungry for more. I've seen people go from entry level to management through sheer determination. Changes come fast -- too fast to keep up with. Upper middle management is always getting juggled. It's to the point we mostly don't bother to learn their names unless they are directly above us -- because in 6 months it will be someone else.

Pros

PTO, flexible schedule. I don't have 20 words of nice things to say, but it is the minimum. Overall bad pay, not worth it. Go across the street.

Cons

Management, pay, hard to schedule time off fire to restrictions, the lack of respect from upper Management, they let good people go and keep the slackers.

Pros

The staff can be nice

Cons

Every other month payroll messes up wages. You don't get paid your overtime, your sick pay and in some instances staff aren't even getting their agreed salary. Wages are short and then you have to fight tooth and nail to get what is rightfully yours. Nobody is held accountable for the mistakes and you are made to feel like you are in the wrong for even bringing it up. They do not see their staff as people, they treat low level staff like dirt. There is no recognition or reward. Work life balance is poor. Senior management do not understand the needs of working families and those with children are often over looked as 'not being able to cope with long hours' Staff turnaround is high. Facilities managers seem to come and go with a lot of the long term ones starting to jump ship. Upper management also have a high turnaround. The company asks for staff involvement and on paper appear to really value staff opinions - boxes are ticked and nothing changes. Moral is extremely low. Learning and development looks great on paper...this is not put in to practice and staff are prevented from progressing. On paper this company looks amazing - in reality it is like working somewhere which has been written in to a dickins novel.
