Business Outlook

Pros

You get a lot of experience working here and meet a lot of supportive people and the management is nice and will treat you with respect.

Cons

It's a dead end job. The company preaches to you how important your job is but yet they pay you peanuts. It's hard to take your job seriously.

Very good benefits, particulary lots of vacation time. 4 weeks after a year + personal days and sick days. Good salaries, too.

Cons

Very disorganized management. It's very hard to know what they want and vertical communication is poor. Very slow to change. Unclear structure.
