Pros

Pay Colleges Early finish on Friday

Cons

Bully culture. Overtime is expected regardless of your situation. Expect to be bullied into working every weekend. Management only promote their friends and family regardless of skill or experience leading to managers with no idea what’s going on. Lack of development opportunities. HR is non existent.
