Pros

co workers were friendly and extremely helpful, benefits were amazing, the job itself was interesting and I really enjoyed the work

Cons

management had very strict policies and despite very positive feedback from co workers and management they don't tell you when you do something they don't like. During the Excessive 6 month probation period, the company policies that prevent employee termination for illness, tardiness due to traffic, ETC. do not apply. I was told I had PTO and was told otherwise when I was terminated due being in probation period. Co-workers were told that I quit after I was terminated and left the building.
