Pros

Good pay and work benefits.

Cons

Leadership advancement is driven more by popularity than demonstrated competence. As a result, employees are often placed into leadership roles without the experience needed to succeed, contributing to high turnover and limited job stability.

Pros

Lots of hours, uniforms and boots provided, quarterly food trucks.

Cons

Lots of hours, equipment constantly breaking, leadership needs better training, promoting the wrong people, quite often the expectations far exceed the skill levels and capabilities of the employees. It's a dirty job yes, long hard hours, very little thanks from the company.
