Pros

If insisted any pros must be added... location.

Cons

There is no respect for knowledge, capability, or well-being. There is no opportunity for leadership positions or growth to advance, because their livelihood hangs in the balance of a dictatorship of pious judgment, amongst a team of “leadership” that are far less capable than a 5 year old fitting a square peg into a round hole. Being a female makes it particularly difficult - less chance for advancement, less respect, less communication, and more blame. This is no place for someone seeking mentorship, knowledge, or a place to achieve anything greater than lackluster experience. If you value your career, any real world experience, want to expand your skills, and make a difference, you will have much better luck elsewhere.
