Pros

Can’t think of any to list

Cons

Too many to list them all. General Manager berates people during meetings, other managers undermine each other, employees expected to use all of their vacation time during shutdown and the rest is unpaid. Employees expected to take work home with them that is unpaid. They don’t accept more than 2 sick days per despite government regulations. They expect you to lie to customers and auditors. By far the worst benefits package in the industry. Very toxic and stressful work environment.
