Pros

Health insurance starts right away and you get a good amount of holidays

Cons

They start your pay low, fight not to give a next step raise, give only 2.0 percent yearly raise so in two years you can get last years cost of living. They don't post pay scales. They want a lot of I not we can do this, but the I is so they can point at the I and they can avoid blame. It isn't a we company if you take time to read the propaganda they post over the break tables. You are expected to work overtime and by doing that you can make a living but not have a life.
