Pros

9/80 compressed schedule. Cruise privilege (inflexible if you opt for the "free" option). Paid ORCA card.

Cons

As one other reviewer cited, PCL is running the show (Finance anyway) from Santa Clarita. CFO encourages to ask why but the answer you mostly get from people in Seattle is "because that's how it was done last year", that is, no one knows why things are done the way they are. With the high turnover in Finance, this isn't surprising though.
