Pros

The people are friendly and the company builds quality skills. Breaks are paid for and there are 5 work shifts to chose from. The interaction between the company and employees is great.

Cons

You start out as a temp. It can last anywhere between 3 months and a year. After that you get hired on and actually work for the company.
