Pros

You can get hired because they will take anybody

Cons

Management is very unprofessional. I have worked for more than 10 companies in my lifetime. I am in my late 50s and had a drugged up kid in his 20s as my 2nd shift lead. His exact words were "who cares if it's wrong, it will get fixed during warranty, we need numbers" Management loves him. Why do we need the numbers instead of quality? The warehouse is over filled.
