Pros

Good place to make money if you treat it like they do, no loyalty, and a stepping stone to a better career. Do not make the mistake of using them as a career you will be disappointed

Cons

No loyalty to employees, they are at the whim of the government no matter what. Very disappointed with some of the underhanded dealings. You will be just an employee, if you want to work as a team or a corporate family this is not the place for you.
