Business Outlook

Pros

The 14 day a month work schedule affords workers the opportuinity to lead a more balanced life. I have been presented with the opportunity to advance at an accelerated pace. The bonus system is also a great way to motivate employees and keep everyone focused on the companies guiding principles.

Cons

12 hour shifts can be grueling especially in the summer months. Not alot of parity in pay. some individuals with fewer responsibilities and job requirements make the same dollar amount as you do.
