Pros

Decent benefits If you're willing to move, advancement can happen Horrible economy, it's a job. If you do your work and keep your head down you can manage to get through the day most of the time.

Cons

Terrible pay and raise structure Ridiculous hours for no reason at times, then lack of hours when they're really needed. Management is rude, uneducated and part of the good ol' boy network. Large workload for small pay. No connection between employees 'on the ground' who actually interact with customers and upper management.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
