Pros

Great benefits initially. There were some great development opportunities and some great managers. Also some interesting work and meaningful responsibilities. I had coworkers who had happily been there for up to 30 years.

Cons

There were some not so great managers who would undermine others. Upper and middle management extremely stressed out and acting out due to the pressures, this was right before most of the Northeast was canned or "invited" to relocate to North Carolina with no relocation expenses paid and a lower salary. It made for a very unpleasant environment.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
