Business Outlook

Pros

No weekends or holidays- or OT if that's what you like.

Cons

No room to advance- no raises that amount to anything, no retirement, Benefits are expensive. Management in any department does nothing to encourage or build up employees for success- out of 32 departments, there are none that make this claim.
