Pros

They have your typical corporate benefits of 401K, combined sick days and vacation, medical dental vision health plan, and free parking.

Cons

Saving pennies is more important than retaining people. Turnover is the highest in the industry because of harsh treatment of the employees. White collar jobs are being outsourced to China and India on an increasing pace over the last several years. Lastly, if you are in your 40's don't even bother to apply, age discrimination is denied but practiced steadily.

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).
