Pros

Good pay for the area

Cons

Racism is well hidden but comes to the surface the longer you're here. HR is a total nightmare unless you kiss butt. If you pretend nothing is wrong, you'll be fine. Once you start calling people out for laziness, you'll be targeted by HR and fired. Seen it happen on many occasions
