Pros

If you're lucky, you will receive your paycheck.

Cons

- It's a frat house, and yes, the sorority girls have crashed the party. They can be found in Human Resources, Training, and the perennial big bird in the administration areas. And, worse yet, they have been here FOREVER. People just haven't bothered to let them go (they actually keep them here laughing as their home lives are destroyed, bodies are completely ruined and knowing, once they leave, they won't remember a thing). - Constant change (there is nothing else to do, so they actually have meetings to see how they can "mix it up") - The spouses of leadership are your co-workers - You can't go to the bathroom without being questioned. It's almost like a prison, but you would have to imagine worse. And, I am sure people managing it have been released from actual prison.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
