Pros

The only pro i can think of is having extra money in my pocket, but at 11 dollars an hour for the work you do it is not worth it.

Cons

1. storeage of items was unsafe for employees. 2. they dont use the proper equipment and vehicles the job requires. 3. they try to cut your breaks short. 4. not fair in the amount of work each employee is given. (if you work fast you will not be rewarded).

Pros

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Cons

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
