Pros

-Decent PTO amounts -Company Match -Pension Plan -Made some friends

Cons

-Upper management plays favorites. It is a 'good ol boys club' -If you quit before you earn what PTO you use it gets deducted from your last check. -They charge you a big fee when you roll over your 401k after you leave the company -Pay is a joke. People were amazed when I told them I only made 12.50 an hour with an unattainable bonus structure and horribly strict merit increase policy. My wife was a TELLER at a local credit union and got 3 raises a year and profit sharing and ended up making 14 an hour as a teller while I was still at 12.50 an hour for the first 2 and a half years.
