Pros

Every staff member (below management) can relate and revel in the combined misery that is inflicted upon you on a daily basis

Cons

It's just awful. Beyond awful. People genuinely go insane working here. It's like a lunatic asylum with staff members wandering around in some sort of beaten down fish wife that has lost all hope of ever finding happiness again. When you speak to staff, everyone and I mean everyone hates it. They hate turning up they hate being there and all they can think of is that first drink that will relieve the numbness and depression that has created up on them. It's strange. I work as a demonstrator, and like many others I find it difficult to leave. I can only describe it as being in an abusive relationship that you are scared to leave. Thank goodness you have an equally miserable support group in your fellow workers. Maybe we are all glutton for punishment, maybe we have done something truly terrible in a previous life that means we must be punished with this form of torture. Please, please if you are reading this and have an ounce of sanity do NOT work for this firestorm of hell. You WILL LOSE YOUR MIND
