Pros

Opportunity for more hours.

Hard work is rewarded when the work is done right.

Work closely with important and smart people.

Patience and commitment are well-rewarded.

Cons

Some coworkers may be negative or toxic, especially when they feel like they deserve more.

A lot of "politicking"; everyone is playing a card game. Some play their cards smart, and some don't, but a lot are just dealt a bad hand.

Don't work here if you walk in expecting a pay-rate raise within your first 3 months (you may still be offered more hours though, so it depends if you're a hard worker).

If you can't work or learn fast, you probably won't last.

Advice to Management

Try making sure management team members are a little more interested in learning about where they are running when they start in a new area. I've had great experiences with my supervisors because of this, but I've unfortunately heard worse from others. It seems that employees feel that management don't understand how hard their job can be.

And maybe try harder to reach out for more resources (new gear, PPE, tools, etc.). I get that can be hard at times, but that's really all I have.
