Pros

There is some opportunity for learning and growth within the company.

Cons

Medical benefits are expensive and the insurance doesn't cover much. Also, communication from upper management is lacking. The building I work at will be closing this November because it's being rebuilt and will be a 3 year project. I was told at the beginning of this year that I would be relocated to a different building. It's now 6 months away from the date the building will close, and management has not communicated any of the details about which building I would be relocated to, or what my position would be at that building.
