Pros

Some great people, but the bad ones really make it bad on you. If you have a problem, HR doesn't help, they just tell you to deal with it.

Cons

The hours were long and they expect longer ones. The pay was horrible. I absolutely despised going to work after being there about a year. I am so glad to be gone.
