Pros

Great PAY, and time off. Location and parking

Cons

Performance reviews are rather superficial! Your reviews to managers are ignored! Need to keep it professional with directors and managers. Poor management leadership! Laid off great workers and kept the "friends" of managers on board. UNFAIR
