Pros

Growing locations bringing in more companies to work with

Cons

depends on which contract you're linked up with. but my experiences were unprofessional, mismanagement, low retention, coworkers can be unreliable when it comes to schedules like calling off and then you have to cover an extra 4 hours with them. unless I'm wrong but there's no employer match for retirement
