Experience level: Confirmed

Poor Job Security
Pros: Starting pay and benefits were pretty good
Good shift differential for working weekends
Brilliant colleagues
Flexible working arrangements, was allowed to work from home
High quality vertical managers
Cons: Advancement was only considered annually and next-to impossible.  There was only a $0.25/hour raise with a large promotion.
Depressing lack of pay raises over a 5 year span
All in-house work was sent offshore for cheaper labor in a gradual process, so there was a constant fear of layoffs
Layoffs happened frequently, and cuts were deep, including entire departments
Layoffs did not account for job performance, as top performers of all levels and senior staff were dumped without warning.
