Pros

It is a job and we all need one.

Cons

Having to lie to customers and being afraid of being investigated like in the past. The settled for $28 million last time for ripping off customers. They scare customers and tell that will be fined if they do not pay for more services they do not want or need. Lots of pressure and having to throw your own ethics out the door for managements obsession with huge profits.
