Pros

good pay, good environment, MOST of the time i feel really heard and seen by management. not just a number in the system.

Cons

they don’t really fire management unless it’s for a big deal or they’re tired of you. they tend to just transfer them around so they’re a problem somewhere else. there’s also no consistencies in management because they’re constantly being transferred around due to the company’s needs. it can make for a confusing environment where every manager will have a different answer to the same question. communication between management and also between management and crew is horrible.
