Pros

- pension cover (although most employers have this benefit) - health insurance - free food during working hours

Cons

- in the last couple of years the bonuses and other benefits were cut by approx 75% - long hours with no extra pay for the managers because the interpretation of the contract by the bosses is questionable - your days off will never be truly free as the Ops Managers will require you to deal with your shop issues at all times. - the company was hit hard by the pandemic so expect to work even more hours for free.
