Pros

Pays surprisingly well. I was told $12 per hour with up to 1000 in bonuses per month. Wasn't told that I could take all of the overtime I wanted and that the bonus was actually consistently attainable. All in all the MT's at the store are pulling about 42000 per year. You learn more than you expect and within a couple of months start to see the wealth of opportunities in the company and out of it.

Cons

Long hours. I regularly pass the 60hr per week mark. Low scheduling flexibility. Best if you don't have any family waiting at home for you.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
