Pros

Cafeteria on site, decent benefits, DCP pension plan

Cons

- Terrible place to work, very competitive, everyone is out for themselves. - If they 'just don't like you' you WILL Loose your job. I exceeded expectations in my first role, struggled a bit in the next role that I was promoted to, admittedly. Truly worked my tail off, but it didn't matter. New managers came in and you quickly realized even your your best was still not going to be enough. Be cautious of this 'tactic' as they are project managing you to move you OUT!! And even if you start to do well, show progression and try your hardest to be positive. It won't matter - they got the ball rolling in the direction of the door. Generally, new managers like to bring in their own people to fill the team with. It's honestly, the MOST cut throat place I have ever had the displeasure of working at.
