Pros

-Stock that return 30% per year -bonuses -vacation time given off the bat is great if approved 15 days -401k matching -health insurance is a great plan and not too expensive to participate in -if you fit in work feels like hanging out with friends

Cons

-really long work hours and weekend work for salary employees is a standard for operations employees -they will move you like a piece of equipment and where they see fit at the flip of a switch (one minute your local at home the next day you could get a call to go to the armpit of America) -have to play the game to move up and be liked by many -if you don't fit in, you don't last long -they know they can control your work ethic with the golden handcuffs -you can work as the next level up, but I've seen many people stay at that spot for some time before actually getting the promotion
