Pros

If you don’t care about having a life outside of work and can commit to nonstop availability, this job may be fine.

Cons

Taking time off—especially on weekends—is nearly impossible unless you request it six months in advance. This is not how most normal jobs or careers operate. The PTO process is unnecessarily rigid and completely out of touch with real life. Management at the Middletown, NY location shows little to no concern for employees needing reasonable flexibility. If you need time off for family, personal matters, or anything unexpected, be prepared to beg or be denied.
