Pros

Work is very low stress but nonexistent. They will allow you to attend classes to expand your knowledge. That's all I can say.

Cons

You will get to experience being Milton from the movie Office Space in real life. Nothing is set up for you on the first day such as the company computer or expense accounts. They never reinmburse you for relocation expenses like they claim. The boss will yell at you for bringing in your own laptop to do work. The boss yells at you for not having any work to do even though he never assigns you any. Expect to have a ruined rental history and bad credit rating thanks to ABS. Company makes you pay for all your medical insurance. The interviews take place outside the office because they do not want to sppok the person they are replacing. They post ads for positions that don't exist. They will lie to your face about having work. They are great at wasting people's time.

Pros

Good benefits. The pay is not bad.

Cons

It seems they like to lay off people based on business cycles. I know one colleague who was laid off a few years ago and then came back 2 years later. Now the group is looking at another round of layoff. Management also love to adhere to old standards from half a century ago. This speaks the lack of awareness on the industry in general. Inconsistent standards on output. This has created so much confusion among the staff. Lack of career ladder.
