Pros

Nice facility. Met a few really nice, helpful people.

Cons

Too many policies. I felt like I had no say in anything. Just follow policy. Policy, policy, policy. Then once you finally figure out the policy, it changes. Not allowed to use logical thinking. Boring work. Overtime required, but then hours are cut so they don't have to pay it. Cubicle farm. No privacy at all. It was really upsetting to overhear the manager berate people in the department. No personality allowed. Head down and just grind. Terrible training. Seemed like all management wants to do is find errors then make you feel bad in a public reprimand. Lack of support or help. Cheap company. Archaic software. Never felt appreciated. Felt expendable from the moment I walked in the door.
