Pros

Decent benefits. This is literally the only pro. I could only imagine this being a good place to work for someone who only has a high school education and 7 kids.

Cons

Low pay, unintelligent coworkers, zero motivation to exceed because raises and promotions are rare, and even promotions come with LOW raises. You are treated like a robot. And, if you work here long enough you will become one.
