Pros
Job security No overtime for most Easy commute location for public transportation
Cons
I had a very horrible experience working in the HR department. They should be honest and call it the Personnel Office or Labor Acquisition Department. There is little respect for people and their individual dignity and well being. Not uncommon at all to hear inappropriate comments about employees (age, weight, looks, ethnic features) from the leadership! They view coming to work sick and when the roads are hazardous (and Sound Transit isn't running) and handling abusive behavior as a requirement and a badge of honor. Despite the economy and people seeking security in employment, turnover in the HR department was astounding and leadership didn't care.
