Pros

used to be stability! (people have to eat). its all about dividends to stockholders and bonuses to upper level management. you have to fight to get paid time off and if you get sick you can and will be reduced to part time status.

Cons

its all about dividends to stockholders and bonuses to upper level management. you have to fight to get paid time off and if you get sick you can and will be reduced to part time status. if I didnt have 20 yrs with them I would leave.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
