Pros

Money is good as long as you hit your metrics. The company as a whole cares about employees and retention. Guaranteed 40hours through the pandemic for all hourly employees.

Cons

Work life balance is not great. Often have an Alternating scheduled start time (I.e. 3:30am for 2 weeks, then 9:00am for 2 weeks). You never have a consistent schedule. Senior Leadership talks out of both sides of their mouth. No room for autonomous or creative decision making. Many things are very black and white. Many KPIs make it difficult to treat employees well.
