Pros

Had a Cadillac health insurance and had a 3 day weekend every other week.

Cons

Terrible managers. Managers got worse and worse each year. Wasn't uncommon for managers to belittle people under them. Several managers were involved in sexual activities with other employees. Micro management was common and it got worse and worse. I felt like I was back in the 3rd grade. If you had a problem with a manager there was nowhere to go for help. Contacting HR was a sure way to be fired. They were more like the SS in WW II. You couldn't trust anybody because there was so much cut throat going on by people trying to get ahead. Managers seemed to do whatever they wanted and seemed to answer to nobody. You weren't even allowed to have another part time job on your own time if you needed it to help get by. If discovered, you'd be fired.
