Pros

Flexible work schedule, Management is very forgiving when it comes to learning the ropes. Learning about tools and their uses, customers really rely on you.

Cons

When it gets packed, expect to not take breaks and late lunches, high turn around. Pay is stagnant. Everyone but management and couple long time workers are part-time.
