If you don't mind terrible hours and never knowing fully when you work. staying glued to your phone for updates while not at work. Some terrible managers, some good. some good co-workers. Stay away if you enjoy doing stuff with your family.

Pay is good but no sick time. Very little vacation, and the vacation you get they want you to schedule a year in advance. You will work weekends forever.
