Pros

Great Environment. Work is not difficult. Although working on Sunday is not ideal, they have RedZone playing.

Cons

No room for growth. Hours/days of the week to work are not good. Leadership is not always friendly or willing to help the appropriate way. If you make a small mistake there are some people who will care way more than they should.
