Pros

Unless you are in Sales, Absolutely NONE. I wish I were lying but unfortunately I’m not.

Cons

If you work in operations you can expect to no longer get overtime after 8 hours. No more safety bonuses. No more profit sharing bonuses. No more lousy $50 gift card at Christmas. Micro managed. Managers who don’t have a clue about logistics and operations. Just a bad atmosphere from a group of investors that couldn’t care less except for the bottom line.
