Pros

Can't name a single pro

Cons

Local management is laughable. I was brought on in a hurry and given a start date before the hiring process was complete. Meaning my first 5 days were unaccounted for. I was assured a wage within an acceptable range and then when the hiring process finalized, I was given minimum wage. The lack of intelligence in the location is staggering and the fact that they claim being inundated when their bulk of the tiny operation can be handled in a matter of a couple hours.
