Pros
A few pros are the perks you get: car, phone, etc. Very flexible schedule in terms of scheduling on your own.
Cons
This will be long. Overworked and the attitude is "they do not owe you anything". There are particular people in particular positions that essentially are running the regional side of the business into the ground. Experience is not appreciated nor is the time or effort you put it. Ultimately, when positions become available for your career to advance they will entertain you with gimmicky interviews, pats on the back, and even suggest you are a front runner; until, who is responsible for hiring hears of his close buddy or family member losing a job and is magically qualified. Ops used to take a trip every year prior to the season starting. It was a great trip, every year the ops guys/girls got together for a weekend and just hashed out the previous year and created a mindset for the upcoming season that was more positive. It really was something to look forward to, well, that was at least until the infamous "snow trip" everyone in the company heard round the world. There are a lot of hush hush situations that get covered up here as well.
