Pros

Pay rate and hours worked

Cons

The managers of the particular facility would treat everyone as though they were incompetent, but expected everyone in the department to complete all of their work for them so that they didn't need to leave the office. Would not show up to the office until it was convenient, and then was impatient with workers when they wanted something done.
