Pros

Decent salary. Good benefits. Decent PTO.

Cons

Very long hours. No schedule. Only 5 paid holidays per year. You're basically on-call. Old school nepotism rampant. Relatives and friends get hired with no work or education experience. Very impersonal with no one caring about you. You're just a clock puncher and they squeeze everything out of you they can get. # of hours you work is irrelevant along with # of days you work. Sadly one of the best companies in the industry. I don't suggest this company at all. Salaried employees are exempt from labor laws so they can and will bulldoze you into the ground.
