Pros

Pay is decent (especially with OT) but nothing special. I could probably make more working elsewhere. Work schedules are flexible and allow me to run errands in the middle of the day. I can take frequent breaks without anyone noticing. When I look around and see all the old people, I feel young and that makes me happy. They have yellow bikes you can ride when you're bored. I basically spend the bulk of my day surfing the web, checking facebook, and looking for creative ways to pass the time. And yes, they pay me to do that.

Cons

Work is NOT challenging. Most of it seems pointless. I would probably get rid of half the people since it seems like a lot of people do nothing. I can usually get most of my tasks and projects done pretty quickly, but then I have to figure out how to kill time the rest of the week. It's hard to stay motivated. Management seems moronic. There's an art to looking busy and it seems management can't tell the difference between those that work and those that pretend to work. I have friends that work tons of OT (even weekends) and are still level 1's, yet I've gotten promoted twice for doing nothing, just because I've had managers that liked me. It truly is like Office Space.

Pros

Looks good on your resume Gets your feet wet if you are early in your career

Cons

Promotion from level 1 to level 2 takes like 2 years. From level 2 to 3 takes like 5 more years. Then expect no more promotion. You don't use anything you learned in school. Same boring mundane tasks. PAR reviews are a joke. There is a competition to see who can work the most overtime. A good-ol-boy military conservative baby-boomers culture that doesn't fit with younger generations. No excitement in your work. A monkey can probably do your job. People don't talk to you. No social life.

Pros

Most organized company I ever worked for, paid on time good benefits... still not worth it

Cons

You have to agree to all of their political stances, Fox news was on EVERYWHERE. If a customer is bombing people , you have to be ok with it and give them assistance. Felt very forced to push the typical corporate ethics in a war business comitting genocide on people. Not worth your soul, I actually felt it leaving several days.
