Pros

The Pros with my position were the leniency and the lack of micromanagement. It's very well known that if you work in a Mailroom you'll have plenty of downtime which was a huge benefit for me being a student at the same time. The job itself was easy as long as you did the basic work. -Downtime -No one breathing down your neck at all times -Easy job to fulfill

Cons

Facilities is not a long term job for anyone to be honest. The Facilities role gets treated with some disrespect, you'll be viewed as "the help" (could be dependent on where you live) but the higher up the people you interact with the more they tend to look down on you so be prepared for that. You'll be verbally told how much you're appreciated by management but it truly does not mean anything because they will never pay you an extra penny for your extra efforts, do not ever expect a raise unless you get an offer from a different company for better then they MIGHT try to keep you by paying you off. Basically there is no reason to work harder because there is no incentive whatsoever other than fulfillment of doing a good job and a "thank you". Do enough work to keep your job but not too much to be relied on for extra work without the proportionate pay you deserve for it.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
