Pros

The brutal oppression provides a great sense of shared misery which cultivates a certain comradery among coworkers. People from various backgrounds were brought together by the systematic oppression.

Cons

The company relies on being understaffed to cut costs and to maximize the effort of each employee, counting on them to pick up the slack which they tend to do simply because to do so is the only way to get through the day. Overworked, underpaid, the employees go above and beyond simply to keep their heads above water, with no recognition and little compensation.
