Pros

They pretty much hire anyone. Casual dress code? Plenty of benefits insurance and union wise

Cons

They pretty much hire anyone. Disrespectful human resources Job attracts very ghetto people Pay isn't enough to justify no life outside of work Will take advantage of you if you're a hard and fast worker You don't know how many hours you're working until you get there, and sometimes that can change at a moments notice.

Pros

It's a job and that's pretty much it

Cons

If your not a knob jockey than you will not move up at all. If your knees have calluses on them then you will do great here if not then you had better learn to c0ck meat sandwiches like nobody else.
