Pros

Salary and benefits are amazing, and for me that really was the only pro of ever working here. I was bought, and I will NEVER make that mistake again when it comes with dealing with my career.

Cons

It would be impossible for me to describe the cons of working here in this little box. I was micromanaged, criticized and chastised. There was no planning for future - as in, 90% of the workforce in the Norcross location should be retired already, but they aren't, and they aren't hiring fresh blood. Stuck in the 80's and only concerned about getting through to the next year. The IT infrastructure left much to be desired, which is ironic considering the product OFS sells. Ridiculous and outdated.
