Pros

Great job to have if you have 0 personal life and enjoy workplace drama and corporate nepotism

Cons

Doesn't matter how hard working or reliable you are as a worker if management at your site don't like you they will find any reason to drop you And after you get dropped corporate will drag out getting you any more work and will straight up ignore you until you get fed up and quit.
