Pros

The dress code is not too strict. If you need a day off getting one is not really that difficult (at corporate at least).

Cons

The benefits are worse than Wal-Mart, which is hard to do. Some departments get bonuses, others get none. There really are no perks what-so-ever. Perks being health club, day care, etc... Also, you do not get Per Diem if you need to travel. Thats right, you pay to go to work.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
