Pros

As I see it: there are NO pros

Cons

If you enjoy being treated unfairly, but enjoy working hard,you would be in a good place.Management (in house) have no respect, complaints go to deaf ears, basically because they are too busy kissing upper managements back side. They have no idea how to run a successful business, and will soon be out of business. The trucks they have should NOT be on the roads ( fact: not fiction) , they can't afford new ones because they are too busy acquiring new sites across North America. I believe the CEOS is clueless, and has no idea of how inept the people he has in charge really are.
