Pros

Average benefits for a large corporation.

Cons

Management incompetency at its fullest. Managers are never in the office and when they are, the door is closed. Purely political regarding advancement. No team atmosphere. Unrealistic workload. Service compliments are never recognized and you are given written warnings for minor mistakes. When manager is aware of contact with HR reps you are eventually terminated.
