Pros

Full time employees get 40 hours a week. You get vacation/sick time from the day you start.

Cons

Pay is low. Management is terrible. And upper management only cares about themselves and the bottom line, when a department saves money the manager gets a bigger paycheck. Management also cares little about their employees' advancement. Good luck getting a raise.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
