Pros

They offer flexible hours which is especially helpful if you are a student. They offer top rated benefits which include health, pharmacy, vision and dental coverage. The employee share of the health insurance premium is minimal. They also give you an amount which equals 3-5% (depending on your years of service) in an account for you to draw on for paid days off. Each year the company deposits 15.4% of your gross salary into a retirement account.

Cons

Working weekends is a requirement. Hours can vary. Having an unpredictable schedule from week to week makes it hard to have a normal life.

Pros

Pay, Benefits, Retirement and the freedom to be yourself.

Cons

Central Management focus on selling the changes that need to happen versus being honest why the change needs to occur. It creates lack of trust and supports that the crew are not capable of recognizing they are trying to sell the topic.
