Pros

Pro only is working with different backgrounds, all walks of life.

Cons

Pay and management. No matter how many times you ask them to change circumstances for the better, they will never listen to you or broken promises. Not only they're running around with their heads cut off, but words enter from one ear and exits the other, no actions lol. 0 stars.
