Pros

Very good benefits such as pension, 401K; wages are OK. The people at the local level are VERY good people with whom to work.

Cons

Management does not want to hear any opinions or information that is different from what they believe and they do not tolerate such. The district manager to whom I had a dotted line had me placed on measured performance because I agreed with a union officer on a point (only the manager knew this - I didn't even tell my boss because I wanted to be discreet). When I submitted pages of the work I had done and was doing, he pressured my boss into letting me go anyway. Also, they don't listen to what the locals want/need and if the locals take the initiative to get the job done, corporate is down on them even when the locals are right.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
