Pros

Good intro to corporate world, especially for Data Entry.

Cons

Constant overtime, black out seasons for PTO, does not promote employees after making verbal promises when taking on additional duties, management plays favorites, nearly impossible to move up in the company-only moves employees are considered for are lateral ones.
