Pros

The only pro is money. If and only if they honor the agreements they signed. Which is not 100%

Cons

They have recently contracted out their hiring screening to a third party. This is to mitigate responsibility for employing violent offenders. So now your family member or yourself can be alone for 12 to 18 hours a day. With a convicted violent felon, rapist, or chimo. They have mistreated people to the point even hiring bonuses don't work so they just remove the bar. They allow these people to work with highly dangerous chemicals and heavy equipment. Through the back yards of everyone in America.

Pros

As someone who loves all things transportation, the work was really fun.

Cons

It's all about the bottom line. Layoffs are a constant threat as the company tires to earn more with less people.
