Pros

Salaried people can be paid OT. They will make...some...effort to keep you when there's slack work. Most of the workers are good people

Cons

Condescending management attitude Considerable nepotism Management strives to achieve zero credibility. The most well defined dividing line between the haves and the have-nots. And they love to rub it in.
