      Pros

      Travel opportunities Pay is decent Nice benefits for managers and above (Car, Phone...etc) Decent PTO

      Cons

      No guidance or leadership from Director level and up Promotions are not based on ability or merit Payroll and HR departments are terribly inept at their jobs - Employees are frequently not paid correctly, if at all, OT payments and tax withdrawals are frequently incorrect No communication processes department to department Unable to make decisions and stick with those decisions Prefer to play the blame game as opposed to finding the root causes to issues and fixing them

      Too much stress and very unorganized

      Pros

      Good Benefits Good Salary

      Cons

      Hard to advance or move positions, there is a huge problem with nepotism and favoritism. There are long hours with not much recognition, unless you are one of the favorites. You are looked down upon if you have a life outside of the company, as in, you have family obligations that limit your time to 40 hours a week. Not all of the managers are qualified because they just earned degrees and have no experience in managing individuals-- some who've actually had managing experience or previous professional experience. HR is a disaster depending on the section you have to deal with.
