Pros

Overtime unlimited, private break room, employee microwave and fridge.

Cons

Little to no training. Promotions are given through tenure or to managerial accommodaters aka pets, horrible scheduling no work life balance what's so ever. Culture is heavy on intimidation, guilt tripping or harassment, no accountability.
