Pros

5 day work week, 2 weeks vacation to start after a year and company is stable and diverse based on what products we sell.

Cons

Frustrating, disorganized and unsupportive of employees, training is non-existent. Work hours are never normal and having a life outside of the job is difficult.

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
