Pros

Great pay, nice clean working environment. If you're single with no life, this is an expecially great place to work.

Cons

Very excessive hours, excessive workload, unrealistic expectations of staff (and ability) to complete given tasks within time-frame. Advancement is more about who you are close with, and your orientation than ability and performance. Expectation is you go home when everything is complete, even if that means 17+ hours / day with NO break! Oh, if you do take a few minutes to gulp down some food, you'll be made to feel guilty for doing so, as if you're not pulling your weight etc.

Pros

Benefits are greatt , discount is good., opportunities for advancement are there if you work hard and get noticed..

Cons

Working weekends and shift changes galore by upper mgmt, and when you request something you are lucky if your members of mgmt listen. Being treated fairly is huge here, your reward for doing a great job is more work. A few hardcore employees do most of the work, with the rest of the crew as shift fill-ins.
