Pros

good location from home makes it an easy commute

Cons

Management members are not equipped to be managers. No management training of any kind it seems. They talk angrily to their employees and ridicule and blame them for things out of their control in front of others, then when they realize what they have done they apologize in private so no one will know they were wrong for their outbursts.
