Pros

You're in a climate controlled office....

Cons

Where do I start? Get ready for a roller coaster here people, because this is going to have nuts in it. 1. Had a former TEAM LEAD who constantly stalked a coworker of mine, I stood up to the team lead and he began to send me messages on different forms of social media. He even sent them to my fiancee who had nothing to do with anything in this. I told the company and their advice was "Don't talk to him" He remained team lead for a few months after the incident, leaving under his own power. 2. You better pray to whatever deiety you belive in that you don't ever get sick, your hours are 7-3:30, and if you need to go have a doctors appointment at 3:35 then you're gonna miss it. They will not let you leave early without threatening your job. 3. I tried to call in (keyword being tried) one morning, around 5 o'clock A.M. because of some very serious mental health issues. Mostly arising from this place of work. They told me i have to come in despite suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Let me rephrase that, I was forced to come in while contemplating killing myself, and at the risk of losing my job i had to forgo going to seek mental health assistance, to come into work. 3. Got kids? Got a family? that's awesome! This company doesn't give a hoot. 4. You get paid a few dollars above minimum wage to get yelled at on the phone, then get blamed for getting yelled at. 5. You will get written up for being more than 5 minutes over your break time, regardless of reason. 6. System went down, told to go home as this was in the morning. Told 'If you do not get a text by 11 then we will not be working" Get text at 12 saying to come in for the remainder of the day. Ask if we can use sick time in association with time missed NO RESPONSE FROM TEAM LEAD. Only to be told later in the day we will not be getting paid for something completely out of our control. 7. On a day where a snow storm hit, a failry hefty one at that, the local and STATE police departments released statements asking emplyoers to shut down early, or to delay start or cancel their business day becasue the road conditions were so bad. We had neither, forcing em to drive on icy roads, then get yelled at for being late... Profits before people.
