Pros

There were a few cool co-workers

Cons

Managers are ignorant and inherently evil. They will treat you like a slave, yell in your face, gaslight you, treat you like a child, even if you do your job excellently and are more educated than them. They need to be fired. I can't name names on this site, but the head female manager of Visitor relations needs to locked away in a psych ward and kept away from people. Very low pay. All people in higher up positions look at you and treat you like a dirty peasant slave. I hope they're all doing very poorly in life
