Pros

There are no pros at this waste land

Cons

Every aspect of the company and job. They have enough money to put a camera in your face all day, but not enough to pay you industry standards. If you're going to work in garbage go to another company that will at least pay your fairly

Pros

With so many managers it's easy to get help for customers

Cons

There are more managers than office staff so it's very hard for staff to have a day off. Managers will often make you feel guilty and try to get you to cancel your vacation because there is no staff coverage. Taking a vacation means you have all that work to catch-up on waiting when you get back.
