Pros

None I can think of, other than the 'brand', which has the lay man swooning

Cons

1. You have to do even minor paper work with a bunch of hillbillies who treat you like a guard, even if you are 2 levels above them 2. Received my salary in a paper cover at a time when labourers get it transferred to their accounts 3. The senior management has the same finesse and culture as prison wardens 4. Truly the worst experience of my professional life

Good until I got hurt

Uso officer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Until I got hurt, it was pretty easy work, despite the low wage that was paid. The team I worked with was pretty on sync.

Cons

After I got hurt, the management in the office did everything they could to make me leave. I had to work in the office after I got hurt. They even downgraded me to minimum wage, which made me feel like dirt.
