Pros

I was offered a great salary and benefits. The hours seems reasonable and not ever having to work weekends seemed great

Cons

I went through the entire hiring process and was made an offer, went for drug testing , fingerprinting and to have a badge made . On a Monday before class started I mentioned I was pregnant . On that Tuesday I recieved a call from hr asking question regarding my pregnancy , on Thursday I recieved a very rude call stating they were withdrawing my offer due to "unspecified concerns that came up during background check" even though the background portion had already been completed and passed long before... There's no doubt in my mind that they changed their mind due to my pregnancy , which Im pretty sure is illegal. I'm very disappointed , I was looking forward to this job and wasn't even expecting a maternity leave from them, I was back at my current job when my youngest was only 6 days old. There's nothing in my background that should've kept me from getting hired , per their rules that I looked over carefully. Whatever their reasons, I know that my merit and experience more than qualified me for this position , and my character has never been questioned, especially by an employer or associate. Their loss I guess.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
