Pros

Some of the people will be good mates for life.

Cons

Underpaid, overworked, mismanaged, promises never kept. Believing if they send you to somewhere 3 hours from your house that you will be there at 9 and stay there till 5.30 then drive home. Incorrect use of personal data. Management live in the 70s with outdated ideas of ideal working conditions
