      No place for strong women

      Pros

      Set hours and days meant good work/life balance. Pay and benefits average for industry. great co-workers.

      Cons

      Women are treated like they have a specific "place" and don't dare step outside of it. Woman were never given specific position reserved for men only, which meant lower pay and no chance for advancement. Those who were at least subservient, were treated more like pets that equals - but was the only way they could at least get somewhere. Management was horrible. One manager used to yell at people in front of everyone. Another was so afraid to do anything, his department was out of control - HR had to come in because they were actually telling homosexual jokes outloud to passerbys. When you were needed, you were treated like gold. Once you were no longer needed like at the end of a project, you were just discarded to go back to you "place".
