Your a replaceable number.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The typical coworkers are great. Always willing to help or answer any needed questions

Cons

The job is extremely demanding physically, mentally and financially with no flexibility otherwise. You work like a dog and the management treats you like crap. Your just a number and the only thing that matters is the job. There is no consideration for your own personal life as the usps is your life.
