Pros

Good Benefits, Tickets to local events, Good pay, New Building

Cons

Work you to death, Would rather hire outside the company than promote within, Some workers move up fast only because of how much overhead likes them not based on work load at all, No actual job description so you could end up scrubbing toilets one day because hey there's no set job description for anyone
