Pros

Laid back, slow, not too hard. One can find something that they are interested in because there is a lot of work to do and the company can not afford to hire the staff necessary to get jobs done.

Cons

Everyone is always looking over their shoulder and acting very defensive because layoffs are always right around the corner.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
