Pros

Good benefits/ vacation/ sick/ personal time off. Operators and co workers are supportive and resourceful.

Cons

Management is inconsistent, moody, and stressful. They dont know what they are doing because they are new (high turnover rate). Some harass operators and have been known to make employees cry. No opportunities for growth.
