Pros

Good experience to put on your resume.

Cons

-Management is awful for the most part, with a few exceptions, they are immature, unsympathetic, political, unintelligent, the list goes on. These people wouldn't survive in a normal workplace. -Work/Life balance is non-existent (BDO Flex is a joke) -All you do is work, busy season never ends and the pay is pitiful for the number of hours. They also don't reward people for their hard work.
