Pros

- relatively easy work once trained - efficient workers can complete responsibilities and have free time - generally low-stress if everyone is making progress

Cons

- very low base pay (lowered from 22 to 19/hr to start since the pandemic) - fixed promotion schedule means overachieving is not rewarded - company has regularly been laying people off and promising new tech tools and AI systems will make up for the lack of workers (it has not) - most of the higher-ups in the company are white men that seem to be entirely disconnected from the reality of their employees - increasingly higher demands regarding production time and workflows, yet company refuses to hire more workers

Pros

Decent base salary to start.

Cons

The Florida market is a joke. Micromanagement from a boss who doesn’t leave their house. Lazy field ops team that falls asleep in the office at their desks (literally). no chance of getting paid your commissions. If you want to do a managers job without managers pay, this is the company for you. Complete incompetence.
