Pros

Promises that were later broken - a real disappointment. When the class complained we only got a HR guy come to tell us how important it was for their stock price to remain high.

Cons

Told start at $19 an hour - then told $10 and would have to pay Union $150 a month even on extra board-even if not working - told had to sign papers- they may dead head (no pay) up to 200 hours a month.. so if I was extra that would be possibly more free work than paid work, and I would be paying a Union $150 a month for this garbage.
