Pros

My manager and coworkers were awesome though. The people you meet as coworkers are pretty cool usually, though I suppose that depends on the location. Keeps you busy.

Cons

Inconvenient scheduling, top-level managers tend to do nothing but squeeze the workers for every last drop of productivity and focus on idiotic management styles, instead of fostering loyal employees. Pay sucks, as to be expected.
