Pros

Pay, is about all I can say good about this company.

Cons

Work and Home life is nil. They work you 12 hours a day up to 16 hours a day with no days off. Your lucky if you get one day a week off. I had no life with my family. Worked holiday eves overnight so on the actual holiday all I could do was sleep. Hired several of us and after several weeks of working us like dogs called us all in and said you are no longer needed here. No explanation, no warnings.
