Pros

Lofty promises every step of the way, all the work you could ever want since you'll be expected to clean up your teammates' sloppy mistakes

Cons

No opportunity for advancement, terrible planning and staffing, dishonest management and supervisors, no accountability, out of touch superiors; if I could afford to quit I would on the spot
