Pros

Hard to think of any

Cons

Retaliation for complaints even when manager was fired due to said complaint (for retaliation 😅🙄) Fired manager was having an inappropriate relationship with my 20 years younger Lead (same level as me, level 4) as a married man. Ended up, divorcing his wife and marrying the home wrecking Lead. Who was left in a position of power over me and was actively retaliating against me just like her new husband had previously. Hours are insane, supervisor did nothing besides flash his cash around and tout his political beliefs.
