Work/Life Balance - Schedules are a "NO GO"
Pros: - Great benefits
- Paid time off
- Sick and vacation time earned depending on years of employment
- Family time and leave options
Cons: - Used to be a fun place to work, where you could send your peers a fun "hey you did a great job" award where they could get swag - this has been taken away
- No work/personal time balance
- Shifts are awful - don't take family into account at all
- pay is good but not worth the stress
- Favoritism - CONSTANTLY
- If you've been working for the department for over five years, you will be overlooked for all promotions and they will be given to someone three-four years your junior (to sound less bitter, they don't take experience into account, only what "yes men" qualities you have)
- you are expected to be flexible no matter what the conditions
- Constant overtime and very very little incentive to do it
- Opportunities for movement are only granted on a limited basis and only for people with (a) a report from HR that you need to move (b) someone that is constantly having lunch with AMs (c) Yes men

- There are actually far too may cons to list - but if you've been working here eight years like this reviewer has - you should have more of a life/work balance for being a good employee and for sticking with the change, instead they stick us with terrible schedules and no life outside of work
