Pros

No best reason - you get into this job and you feel stuck for life.

Cons

Avoid this place. You will be working in a toxic work environment with outdated teaching strategies designed during the WWII to crest factory workers, not thinkers as they claim. You will never progress and they will make you feel like dirt, one day you are great, if it works for them, next day you are not good enough, and you haven’t “earned it” - they crest a codependency strategy to make you absolutely miserable and subdued. Avoid, as someone said in an earlier review - “avoid like the plague.” Oh, let me add, there’s no work life balance. None! Zero! I was greasing and prepping always! And it was never good enough! Never. If there were 5 good things and one bad , they will skin you off, twisting the bad, on and on, and on. Until you dream it and speak it, and suffer the PTSD like a war victim. Avoid!
