Pros

Benefits and close to home

Cons

Guy training me was more interested in sitting on his phone or smoking his vape at the front gate. Quite a few people want to be managers and it's a two faced environment. Management gave little in way of communication skills despite saying they would meet with you once a week to discuss training.
