Pros

No pros come to mind.

Cons

Pitiful benefits. Antiquated technology. Management`s behaviour completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Blatant favourtism for the chosen few. Demeaning, scapegoat tactics for individuals who refuse to conform to the drone mentality.

Pros

To take whatever experience you've obtained while on the job, then taking those skills elsewhere where you can be properly compensated. It motivates you to save what little money you have to train yourself when your manager doen't want to train you.

Cons

The office politics. The backstabbing by both the golden children and managers on the teams. The incompetence. The bullying. The lies, rumours and innuendos if they want to get rid of someone who is actually smart, decent, hardworking and wants to do their job.
