Pros

I cannot think of any.

Cons

In my opinion and experience: Terrible pay, unreasonable case loads, unfriendly management . Got fired for missing work due to being in the hospital. I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS . I was worked like a dog and tossed to the curb with no appreciation after getting ill. Treated like a robot.
