Work here only if you  have to
Pros: -Benefits. Thats it. Only reason to take this job is if you need healthcare
Cons: -Pay is low. Barely enough to make it in Austin. You're lucky if you start at 16 dollars an hour
-No upward mobility. You will not move upward unless you are willing to put in a decade here.
-Management is completely messed up. Managers move laterally to other roles and you'll get a new manager every 6 months or so.
-Morale is spiraling down. On my team, the turn over of full time employees was large. A person leaving every two weeks or management finding a reason to fire employees for minor reasons when they themselves call in sick constantly. I was on a team of 20 people, within 6 months 12 were gone. A new person would be added, another person would leave. Terrible morale.
-Management does whatever the heck it wants while front line people are treated like work horses. At some points,  I would see my manager maybe once or twice  a week because they are calling in sick or taking time off. 
-Everything is metrics based. Quality used to be the focus when Jobs was CEO but efficiency has been the focus over the last two years.
-The job is soul sucking. Dread going to work everyday.
-Work all holidays. For three years I missed thanksgiving and xmas with family
-Getting time off is a pain. You are in competition with other team members for days off.
