Enough overtime if that's what your into or desperately want to deplete your soul.
Cons
No room for growth, barely acknowledge your effort, they run it like a communist culture/environment. You have to threaten to leave for them to squeeze a dollar from where the sun don't shine sad to say.

Pros
Benefits are great and that’s all!
Cons
Lack of communications, lack of respect and appreciation for employees. God forbid you get hurt on the job HELPING the company when they are short handed, let me tell you they DO NOT CARE! Will fight you tooth and nail and will have you back to work doing things you shouldn’t be even though they stated they would accommodate. HR is a joke and no help with anything whatsoever and the only way to move up in the company is if you’re a favorite of management. If they can’t push you around or turn you into a robot you have no chance!
