Pros

Some managers are great but hands are tied. Free food

Cons

Took several months to get hired it’s as if I applied to NASA the amount of waiting. Too much work for so little pay, No sick days or personal days. You need to accumulate PTO to get any sick or personal days. Constant ridiculous training demands without being paid. Give us titles and then then ask us to do things that have nothing to do with our job description. No security at all in any of the buildings I worked at. Very few security cameras if any.
