Pros

Employment - nothing else. There is absolutely no pros to being an employee. Your are used up and abused, provided no direction. Nobody cares and it’s a complete disaster.

Cons

60-70 hour work weeks. No help, runs extremely lean. Only hires in Tennessee which takes forever. Lost vacation days, working on and through vacations and illness. Health insurance is insanely expensive. Work on weekends no compensation. Bonus is almost non existent. No raises!!!
