Pros

Free cab rides in Good welfare (meals, care packages, celebrations) Top notch medical insurance A long-staying boss that is a gem of a person Understanding bosses You never take work home

Cons

Meagre pay unless you've gotten 5-6 years in (no kidding, can't even apply for a credit card with the entry level salary) Horrendous start hours - 3 am start times, but could be attractive to those who can do it Lots of toxic personalities that gaslight and dump work, shout expletives and scream Promotions take too long
