Pros

The benefits were great,and it was close to my home at the time.

Cons

No chance for advancement, unless you were the chosen few. The same people were the only ones getting promoted. It didn't matter how qualified or educated and professional your were. I've seen folks with MBA's get passed up by "others" who barley had GED's. They were in the loop.

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
