Pros

It was a steady full time job.

Cons

Management and the HR department were not helpful in resolving issues. My wages were less than what they offered me when I was hired. They were unable to keep the majority of new hires. They made it almost impossible to take time off even if you request it far in advance. The account manager was rude and disrespectful to officers.
