Pros

Pay is good. Some lower level management are great to work for and helpful when needed. Some middle level management can be tolerated and tend you allow you to do your job without interfering.

Cons

Most upper management do not listen to their employees who are doing the actual work. This causes less quality and efficiency. There is not much of a chance to grow and move up unless you have a military background or have a degree (any degree will do, it does not actually have to pertain to your job at all for lower management positions) Opportunities are not offered based on experience and knowledge. Favoritism from management also prevents employees to excel and create a career making it easy to use as a pass through job to gain experience.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
