Pros

Generous leadership training and self improvement package. If you're looking for serious career, this could be the place as promotions are constant.

Cons

Cult-like culture, either you fit in, pretend to fit in, or you're swatted out. Absolutely no work-life balance due to high turn over rate and employees calling in sick on your day offs.
