Pros

This is a good stepping stone job to get yourself out of retail or food service work.

Cons

Depending on your department, you could be in an excellent work environment or a hellish-chaotic work environment. My first year was fantastic, but then I had to switch department and after that my experience was downhill for the next 3 years.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
