Pros

The staff are great, the environment is good, trainers are all very helpful and willing to learn from each other, flexible schedule overall

Cons

The management can be messy sometimes they have very little idea of what they are doing out there. They make mistakes a lot of time but don't really care. Leaders are not very knowledgeable nor helpful.
