Pros

Good exercise makes every other job seem like cake,

Cons

Treats employees badly, I worked there 2 days was told I get lunch after 4 hours and I did on day 1. Day 2 I told a manager I was off to lunch made sure my areas was covered and went for literally 15 min. Got back another manager was angry I left 8 min early and docked my pay for the day and told me to go home so I quit. Wouldn't accommodate my special medical needs as I have hypoglycemia and need to have a Gatorade on hand when working rigorously they said it was against policy. I worked my rear end off there never complained and they just sent me home pretty embarrassing and degrading so I was forced to quit.
