Pros

The benefits are hard to complain about. Company insurance and time off is amazing. You get 13 points for the year, every government holiday off and paid, and free book giveaways.

Cons

Several people are moved in and out of their department to be "punished". Management staff doesn't respect hard work, seems based more on who is in the it crowd. Hard work doesn't pay off. It seems all job opportunities are given to those who spend the most time in the office and not on the floor. There is no seniority. Group leaders create rumors and talk behind each others backs. Employee's are two faced and create a rumor mill. Management never keeps its' word. A lot of say one thing do another or flat out lies from supervisor's.
