Pros

Great bonus payout, nice people, reasonable hours, pride in working at such a quietly successful company

Cons

Patriarchal. Ridiculous amounts of approvals, even on seemingly trivial matters. This is so demoralizing and deflating for employees who were excited about their ideas and solutions. "Technology" is like a time machine to the 1990s.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
