Pros

Good overtime when it's available and you aren't tied to a full time position. Decent benefits compared to similar companies. Free uniforms.

Cons

The company has a big disconnect between employees and management. Not much room for advancement unless you have a good "connect" politically in the company. The branch office routinely places incompetent workers in management positions over well qualified and experienced employees. Salary is low enough to live in a low income community.
