Pros

Good entry-level pay. Health insurance package. Looks great on your resume.

Cons

Be extra careful - Management has a history of forcing people to resign before the end of their probation period. Management will give you a bad performance review, and then refuse to let you see your own work records or any "official evidence". Whenever your manager has verbal communication with you, via face-to-face or over-the-phone, make sure it is followed up with an email, because email is the only thing the company will officially recognize. Also make personal copies of all emails concerning your work performance and contact with management. If you are forced to resign, and have to file for unemployment, make sure you tell the dept of labor exactly what happened, especially when there has been no "official written record" of you being forced to resign. Watch your back at all times.
