Pros

None that I can think of at the moment

Cons

- Zero work-life balance, constantly working on weekends - Misleading PTO policy (Federal holidays require you to use PTO, despite most of the business and even facilities being closed on these days) - PTO policy actively discourages taking PTO - Limited "perks" - Doing *anything at all* requires extensive levels of approval and on-boarding
