Pros

Pay check and thats not worth it

Cons

Hand me down tools, worthless management, dont care that you have a family, cares only about there own pocket, doesnt provide adequate hydration. Doesnt provide adequate training and crappy support staff. Supervisors are more worried about themselves then helping us. This company will use you to get numbers then drop you. Trust you will train 6pur replacement and work yourself out of a job.
