Pros

College students who are only planning to be employed a short time may benefit from some managers willingness to accomodate a student schedule.

Cons

"Good ol'Boy" mentality among managers makes sure only white males and the occassional female get promoted. Human Resource is ineffective in dealing with complaints often resulting in retaliation by management. Not the sort of place you would want to work if you are the sort of person to blow the whistle on racial, sexual, or any other kind of personal discrimination.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
