Pros

The people you work with, the mentors available and also the constant opportunities for advancement. Benefits and compensation are also good.

Cons

Our site is opened 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so nights and weekend work is a must. The owner is very hands on which can be at times good and other times not so good.
