Pros

It’s a really fun job that’s super busy, always have something to do so you are never bored. Get to work with some really awesome people and crash cars everyday.

Cons

Run a ridiculous schedule that’s determined by upper management who doesn’t ever suffer the consequences of having that much workload because they just get the check. Very bad environment If you don’t agree with the viewpoint of work until you die. Employees are never Recognized for their hard work or even acknowledged. You Don’t get rewarded to being good at your job or putting in extra effort, instead you just are given more work.
