Pros

Legitimate health benefits. The health insurance is expensive though. I believe $75 a month. Paychecks do arrive on time.

Cons

The extra board schedule is brutal. No Friday or Saturday nights off. A couple good managers. Politics will be played. Management can be very political with each other. Environment can become toxic quickly.
