Pros

They always have work if you want it

Cons

They will work you more then most would feel to be reasonable. Never know when your day ends as add ons is common and often without notice. Management believes on speaking half truths, leaving out the known negatives to get you to t ifhink/believe and intentionally lead you down a false but choosen path. It's money first here people as it publicly traded and stockholders matter much more then you ever will. Not much quality of home life as they will sap all you have during your 10-12 hour days.
