Pros
The pros are used to work with awesome second shift/3rd shift supervisor
Cons
The cause nobody stays in touch with you. Nobody tells you anything you are lost when you worked there when it comes to information of things you should know as a Traveler when it comes to who to talk to in the department on different things it’s just all jacked up so just be mindful. It is a great place to work but at the same time management is not always around to help

About
A true Southern gem, Atlanta, Georgia, is a city rooted in the past but leading the way into the future. Atlanta is known for its beautiful skyline and many attractions, including the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca Cola and the CNN Center. Local restaurants like The Varsity and Mary Mac’s Tea Room showcase the city’s rich Southern cuisine, and visitors quickly notice that almost every street downtown has “peach” in the name. The cost of living is much lower than in many similar cities in the more crowded Northeast, but the quality of life is as good or better. Atlanta is also home to the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International, making air travel a breeze, and Atlantic Station, a great place to shop til you drop. There's literally something for everyone from historic homes and museums to sports teams like the Braves, Hawks, Falcons, Dream and United FC.
