Pros

Job responsibilities, individually, were not difficult.

Cons

Very fast-paced environment, requiring juggling of various duties and solid teamwork between co-workers. Pay does not match effort required for job. High turnover rate, resulting in consistent cycling of new employees and co-workers.
