Way too many management positions

Pros

Work schedule was nice doing 2 pm to 11:30 pm

Cons

There are way too many managers everywhere and they make up annoying and grueling tasks to seem worthy of their paycheck. Lots of favoritism and backstabbing. Management sees everyone else and disposable pawns.

Pros

Slow work, so you'll either have to find your own work to do or just sit there, which can be a pro or a con. Good benefits, mostly flexible.

Cons

everyone in the business (including customers) just moves slow, without a care about efficiency. Travel is annoying but that's a personal complaint
