Would love to see a company list their cons during the interview process…

I had one that kind of did. Looking back I think it was a clever way of seeing if I was a good fit based off my reaction.

It was the end of the interview and he asked if I had any questions, and I pulled the "turn it around on them" play and asked him what he enjoyed most about his job/working there. He was going to be my boss.

He said "every day I get to work on something new". With the magic of far more experience now, I understand just how much that's a blessing and a curse. That idea excited me at the time, and it was the attitude needed for the position.

Now I prefer to have that opportunity available, but I have to be able to deep dive into a smaller subset of things and ignore the churn sometimes to stay sane long term.

Working with something new every day in a tech support position just means something new is breaking every day, and there's not enough time to become well versed in much of it.
