Vantaggi
There just were none. It was a horrible place to work. You weren't paid what you were worth for skilled, highly specialized labor, the health insurance was poor & expensive, the benefits were almost non-existent, & the performance bonuses were constantly moving targets. I felt like they stole 5 years of my life.
Svantaggi
As a grown man, I felt constantly insulted by the at best condescending nature of my supervisors, & at worst, verbally abused by them. The work load increased almost daily; I took the documentation home with me & started working on it at 5 AM daily, just to stay somewhat caught up. The stress level was very high & you always felt as if your job was hanging on a thread. The pay was scant & the raises were almost insulting in their meagerness. You were told in your (always late) performance reviews (the ones that determine your raises) that you could never achieve the highest rating because that represented perfection & nobody was perfect. I felt such a huge weight had been lifted the day I last walked out of that miserable place. I can't emphasize this enough: DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!
