Business Outlook

Pros

Straightforward work, expectations are clear and the people were mostly good to work with. Overtime was good, but basically required and the culture for the most part was that nobody leaves until thr work is done so at least you're all in it together.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, overtime was nice but basically required every day leaving very little time or energy to enjoy life outside of work.
