Pros

Far reaching opportunity for locations and positions. So/so benefits offered.

Cons

Work hours are insane. Easily over 50 hours a week, and managers get upset if you don't work on your scheduled days off. Management is lacking in manager skills, unqualified people in positions of leadership. Pay plan is lacking any substance. They offer you a "draw" which is paid up front by the company, and you have to repay out of your 2nd pay period check, but they still count that as income to avoid paying minimum wage.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
