Pros

Micromanagement at its best.

They will be involved in every aspect of your day to day.

There will never not be a reason not to be busy. Great for people who love to work.

The salary is within acceptable ranges, and most management is pleasant enough to deal with.

Cons

Micromanagement at its best. They will be involved in every aspect of your day-to-day. They have rules laid out for how you should do your job. There is no real room for error or slow days in their minds. If they pay you for 40 hours and work only comes to 30 hours, they will eventually find four people in the same boat and remove one to spread the work around. This makes for a somewhat tense desire to find work by the more "go-getting" employees.

Advice to Management

Not everything workers do can be arranged in such a way to have standards that don't change. You can't just expect every job to go as planned.
