Pros

The people you work with are great. They work very hard and deserve more than they get. They are expected to work very hard for very little.

Cons

The management is very political. Very unfortunate. They get rid of their hard working employees by writing them up for things that they don’t do. Then you have to constantly defend yourself. Not worth it. Then they demote you and make you realize you don’t want to be there.
