Pros

Pay Crew personalities Free Water Cameras watch your every move so if you get killed the person responsible can likely be identified. . .

Cons

Employees with 5 years seniority are being layed off. Managers are forced to set up employees for failure to keep their job. May have to work many holidays and special events because a plethora of other employees call off using family medical leave. Union is weak.
