Department Manager
Pros: Great place to work for if you like interacting with people, and enjoy a fast paced environment.  There is always room for advancement within the company if you apply yourself, and show initiative.
Cons: I had $0.67 in pay rate increases in six years, though my workload more than doubled.  The reasoning for it was that they could not "afford" to pay me more.  Also I was on a rotating schedule of two 4pm-1am shifts, two 10pm-6am shifts (that often went till 8am) a day off, then a 9am-5pm shift, then another day off.  It was difficult, and I never seemed to get enough sleep.

Some supervisors would place high expectations upon you, but would not give you the proper tools to properly get the job done.

Many times people were promoted who were unqualified, just to fill a spot, which caused an inordinate amount of stress for the rest of us, and frustrated our customers.
