Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is about average for the industry. Decent coworkers. Decent management. 3 weeks of PTO was a plus Average Benefits

Cons

Work life balance is rough sometimes. Management doesn't always communicate details of the job you are scheduled to work at. Scheduling typically happens the afternoon prior, making it hard to maintain any kind of normal routine. Sometimes you'll have to be at the job at 2am, sometimes it's 5am, other times it's 7am.
