Pros

They will take their time training you making sure you feel comfortable before sending you off on your own. Almost all supervisors and co-workers were easy to get along with.

Cons

As with any distributing job you are there to help the customer and you have to pander to their company's protocol. Some backroom clerks/managers can go on a power trip thinking you work directly for them.
