Good opportunity if you fit in. If they don't like you, you are out regardless if you perform.

Pros

The benefits are great. Some leadership is for the employees. Pay for roles other than labor is good.

Cons

Very, very "good-o-boy" culture! You will not move up unless you are kin to someone, or you kiss some boots. Laborers make poor wages for the work they do.
