Pros

Very good benefits package that contributes 15% of your income to a retirement fund with zero vesting required from the employee.

Cons

You will work a minimum of 50 hours a week and up to 65 hours fully on a salary. Company vesting is not awarded until after a full year of employment, and you will not receive the full vesting if you leave before six years of employment.
