Pros

Great starting pay. A lot of small communities that help you feel integrated/involved.

Cons

Training can be hit or miss.

Work-life balance can be rough.

Advice to Management

New hire training and onboarding are vital. Make sure these are happening. I had the misfortune of having my onboarding buddy have COVID the second day I was there and was left to figure out everything on my own.
