Pros

There are many great people within the work environment. Flex schedule option with seniority.

Cons

Lazy employees who affect your team are protected. The better you work, the more you are assigned. Workloads are not distributed fairly even if experience is the same. Many managers have never done the job below which they are managing and cannot answer your questions.
