Pros

Its a job. Some people were friendly.

Cons

Pay was low Your life there really depends on your manager. If you get a manager who does not like you your life will be hell everyday. I worked for a certain manager for 4 years with no problems (NONE) and then that manager left, first week under new manager I got written up. I knew she didnt like me so I left there. Best decision ever!
