Pros

no vacation limit, some flexible schedules allowed but not on a regular basis, holidays and half days are nice for christmas and new years

Cons

when you do take a day off you still get called to work, many supervisors, no commonsense or support from leadership or technical team, everyone is worried about making a mistake and getting fired. promises promises promises of compensation but no follow through, no appreciation of job well done.

Business Outlook

Pros

The training was very kinesiology-based, which was good. Safety is the top concern.

Cons

It's hard to get a job without experience. The names of the exercises are very long and technical, making me call them something different a lot of the time.
