Pros

Hard to come up with anything here.

Cons

Outdated equipment, outdated methodologies, and outdated concepts - IT management is filled with long term bench sitters who have not bothered to adapt to anything past 1990. A culture of fear and micromanagement stifles any attempt at innovation - employees feel lucky to survive, and dare not stick their heads up enough to try and go above and beyond. Obligatory, scheduled, repeating overtime to handle what has long since been regular routine maintenance tasks. The department as a whole is treated as a cost drain to the company, not as a value adding entity.

Pros

Some other employees were friendly.

Cons

Human Resource personnel on site in small CT office (1 wo/man show)and even in corporate office need to be re-educated on ethics, harassment, discrimination and in general and basic employment laws in general how to treat employees as human beings. No trust. Even if you quit, if new employer calls to verify employment do not be surprised if they say you were terminated. Fair warning.
