Pros

Utilized down time to work on my equipment through simulators.

Cons

Zero potential to move thru company. Company only cares about the 100 or so employees working in corporate. Sales staff brings in all of the income and is treated like animals. No commission. Any monkey can fit someone, but it's about fostering a relationship with customer that makes and brings back sales. Upper management is out of touch with how to treat people.
