Pros

Decent Pay, lots of benefits, lots of flexibility. Branch level management was great and had a great group of people to work with.

Cons

No work life balance, working 14-16 hours a day was normal and the regional management was awful. At that level they do not care about anyone else. This is only specific for the region I was most recently in as I have worked in several and the others were not that way. Here you are only a name on a piece of paper with zero value no matter what you do.
