Pros

You'll get to be dragged through the hiring process and dumped

Cons

If you've raised 6 kids pretty much on your own so you have gaps in your employment, were left penniless by not one but two husbands so you have bad credit, have not had health insurance so couldn't treat your chronic illness and pass the physical and despite not having gone to college, spent 5 years doing college level work successfully at a major corporation do not apply here because you're still not good enough to work for this company.

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.
