      Pros

      profit sharing, stock plan, health benefits, company car, cell phone, reputable name

      Cons

      Very little training or guidance, you’re just kind of thrown to the wolves. Can be a great place to work or a living hell. I’ve worked at multiple locations and experienced both situations.
