Pros

No weekends, great paid time off. Pay was above average for the area.

Cons

High School behavior and gossip. Was like working with a bunch of snakes. You never knew who was going to bite you when you weren't looking. Advancement was impossible unless you were in the right group. Medical Insurance was horrible and expensive.
