Pros

there are good people to work with here. pay is not terrible.

Cons

new hires make more than established personnel. Upper management regime is archaic and treat team members as disposable assets and use intimidation and disciplinary actions as a mainstream of trying to entice team members to perform. Working in a managers position, it is regularly 60 hours a week and has been up to 78 hours during peak.
