Pros

The pay is decent and the benefits are good. If you want to work a lot of hours and get lots of required overtime this is a good place to work.

Cons

Don't plan on doing anything on the holidays, you will be working almost all of them. Upwards of 50-60 hours weekly. You will also be pressured to do the work of several people by yourself.
