Pros

Really good team with great management that make you feel welcome and part of the family from the start.

Cons

Expectations are quite high in store, however, not unachievable. It is hard work, but you get compensated for it!

Pros

Higher rate of pay for the area, commiserate work environment

Cons

Leans heavily on a "generalist" training for employees, the corporate solution to work life balance is to not schedule you for enough hours, when the company decides they are abandoning the site they wait til the last month they need to.
