Business Outlook

Pros

Great intial training, weekly direct deposit .

Cons

The game is this, x number of slots to fill, x number of bodies needed for those slots , get them however you get them, expect most to quit in under a year and make it a self fulfilling expection. Zero sick days, really limited benefits, no real expectation that superior performance is even acknowledged much less rewarded.No support from above as regards advanced training or promotion.
