Management is toxic, and demanded good results even if training is poor. During this time I went through several boss even though I was there for a limited time.

Pros

Good benefits, fair salary, and good training

Cons

I had a new boss of 2 months who hit on me, I proceeded to act negatively toward him, not really respond, etc - and he told me I should consider another job. I told HR, they got our text messages - he was fired. I was offered NOTHING, not even a day off. Less than a year later - I was fired for a ridiculous reason. My belief is that they fired me to get me out and avoid any trouble.
