Pros

Good pay and decent benefits

Cons

No work-life balance because of mandation Drama because of cliques - causes favoritism when it comes to mandations and problems Extra dangerous environment because of high turn over rate and being so low on staff that everyone is burnt out Higher ups don’t come when you call for them most of the time, no support

Pros

Amazing pay, and benefits over time. You work with a diverse group of professionals.

Cons

Lots of old, broken, and lazy staff. Staff often call off on weekends. Staff also do the bare minimum and allow a lot of mishaps to happen that led to overtime.
