Pros

You’ll make more money than you know what to do with for minimal work. Benefits are hard to beat, and PTO is great as well as flexible. You’ll meet some of the best and funniest people.

Cons

You’ll spend your life there, don’t plan to have much of a social life working 12 hours plus. The money I mentioned you’ll be making will be because overtime never fades. Management I hope has changed as you will have military style leadership with occasional guilt trips to overwork yourself. Gossip is terrible.
