Pros

Other than some managers, most employees are great to work with and are very helpful. Good team attitude between coworkers.

Cons

Some lower level managers are still in high school playing their little click games so if you're not part of their group you don't get recognized. These managers are also so intent on moving up the ladder that they forget they have people working for them and don't seem to be part of the "team".
