Pros

Pay is above minimum wage, that is about it. Benefits sub par, Expectations dont align with tools provided,

Its a lot of talk versus actaul execution from upper management, they are to focus on number and money, not on the general worker and providing tools, also alot of intimidation tactics. Management needs an overhaul.
