Pros

None. Do not be fooled.

Cons

It’s the hardest place you’ll ever work at. (Mentally that is.) Company uses cameras everywhere (even in places you wouldn’t think there were) they watch you insistently. And then keep logs. I’m not joking they STALK their employees. You take pictures of everything you do but management will somehow use that against you. ASK for a handbook. This is how you know you’re working for a trash company. They don’t have one. But they do have arbitrary change by the day rules. You’ll enjoy knowing stuff you “should have known”
