      Pros

      It's a job and a paycheck/benefits. You can get attention to detail/multi-tasking/Excel experience. Also it's a strict 9-5 job. I believe you get paid overtime, although it's rarely necessary. The slight downside to this is that most of the time must be there for pricing from 4-5 every day, even Fridays on holiday weekends...

      Cons

      I understand it must be challenging for such a huge company to organize, but if you are an intelligent/inquisitive person you will find yourself in a mundane role with little opportunity to take on more challenging work. Very rarely will you find someone passionate about the company.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
