Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

They pay minimum wage for some jobs including mine. They didn't want to pay me for training in its entirety, but when I threatened them, they did. They fired me from training for failing a test that had no material to prepare for. They had computer glitches, problems with equipment and they didn't want to pay me for downtime even at minimum wage! The supervisor criticized employees in front of other employees and didn't appreciate my work.
