Pros

Variety of work, good team

Cons

Constant change in team, management making decisions best for them and creating more work on a team that was already overloaded. If you didn't get on with the GM he blatantly belittled you in front of others and joked about it to the team. No flexible work arrangements even though there was a policy for it.
