Pros

Big employer with good possibilities and a working human resource department. Easy to communicate with your coworker.

Cons

No clue to what a slow pace the coworkers have. Worked 3h a day and then I was done. When I asked for more to do they told me to slow down. I even got a bribe as a x-mas gift from my boss that received that from a external company.
