Pros

appreciating the rest of your life once you leave this hellhole

Cons

the town is a death trap-one of the highest per capita crime rates in the country--makes Detroit seem safe--if you break down on your way to work, they may never find your body!-and the schools suck--unless you are a basketball star--otherwise, your kid may wind up as a knife cushion the plant is totally disorganized-they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars, because none of the original engineers wanted to move to Deathtrap SC, and no one knew what the hell they were doing They are on their third plant manager in 3 years, the HR department is mostly a bunch of mindless imbeciles that couldn't run a fried chicken stand, nevertheless an hr dept-the machines are set up dangerously, with very few safety systems in place. They are ALWAYS looking for people, because anyone who can leave, DOES LEAVE! The other elevator companies are eating their lunch--breakfast--AND dinner!

Needs juggling multiple jobs! A lot of travel involved. But great learning opportunities follow these.
