Pros

Friendly and supportive coworkers. Good learning experience for beginners.

Cons

The people I worked with were the best part of the job, but poor leadership and constant staffing issues made the experience frustrating. Expectations were often unclear, and employees were expected to take on extra responsibilities without adequate support. I would not recommend it to those seeking a stable and supportive work environment.
