- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself to further your career growth from stretch assignments to management roles
Cons
Promotions take longer than they should with the appropriate evidence and justification.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
AMAZING benefits and a great start for minimum pay. Growth opportunities within the company are available and encouraged. Great training and communication. Career opportunities are available throughout the USA. Hardworking coworkers who, a good amount, have been in the industry for over 30 years.
Cons
Although one would feel at ease working at a facility where it's extremely difficult to get fired... It actually brings more stress and hurt than one would realize. When everyone can get away with anything; when no one is held accountable... Real complaints, real issues, real harassment... These things can be more or less easily buried.
