Pros

Good benefits at a reasonable cost; helpful, pleasant co-workers

Cons

If you're unlucky enough to land on a team with a bullying micromanager, you won't have a 4- or 5-star experience. We were monitored like a kindergarten class: 'All calls, IMs, and emails MUST be responded to within 5 minutes of receipt.' Daily stand-ups were a mix of sarcasm and needless attempts to put someone on the spot. I left without having another position lined up, that's how bad it was. In my 16 months on this team, 7 of the 12 employees left (some stayed on the same contract but went to a different employer) and the positions had to be filled again. Target probably has a better turnover rate.

Pros

Stable pay and generally predictable hours. I enjoyed the projects I worked on and the teams I worked with. I was able to take advantage of their learning and development benefit and obtain an important certification for my line of work. I felt supported by managers, HR and Help Desk to help me focus on the projects I was working on.

Cons

I received no bonus or merit pay increase. I had to renegotiate my pay after they pulled me back in from being laid off.
