Pros

High wages. This is making me write more than 20 words but there is really nothing else good I can say about working for this company.

Cons

Management teams are unorganized and don't value their employees. Awful experience for me and many of the people I worked with will agree. I was a Team Leader and a traveling trainer for about 3 years and I had been written up 3 times for being late in those 3 years and I was terminated for "excessive tardiness". Keep in mind that their definition of being late was if it was even just one minute after your scheduled time. Despite the fact that you may have worked late the night before. In those three years I witnessed many hardworking employees be terminated for trivial reasons, and the absurdly lazy employees got to stay. I even personally witnessed the sexual harassment of young female coworker by an older male coworker and the management team swept the whole situation under the rug to avoid embarrassment. The man was not so much as even written up. This company changes their procedures so often that you never know the correct way to do a task, and you will be berated for not doing something perfectly. If you want to succeed here, just be a lazy "yes" man and you'll fit right in with management. But if you put in actual hard work, you'll get criticized and passed over at every turn.

Pros

Pay. For my department, a regular schedule. OT opportunities. Double pay holidays.

Cons

Management has serious favoritism. They pressure you to pick up the slack of the ones who are lazy or work like sloths. A position hurting you? They don’t care. It’s SO easy to get fired. 3 strikes you’re out. Don’t forget to clock in or out including lunch, strike. Don’t be one min late. Strike. Don’t have car issues. Strike. Don’t get sick. Strike. Going to call in? Make sure it’s more than 1 hour before your shift If not, strike. Don’t say something wrong, instant fire. So many great people and hard workers get fired because they missed clocking in/out. People get distracted or forget and jump right into work. No big deal right? Wrong with this company. How dare you forget?! You get 3 weeks vacation sure, but ever get sick? PTO gets used for that. Someone says something that was interpreted wrong fired. Definitely can’t count on keeping a job here. Better have a plan B ready because any day could be your day. Training? Ha! More liked throw you into it and figure it out.
