Pros
Good atmosphere and good people. Good place to start a wonderful career
Cons
Hr is not good with records. They screwed up on a lot of filing issue while I was there and they did not honor there word when trying to do what they could to help out.
Advice to Management
They are not where they need to be and they do not like to listen to managers when they need help. There is nothing you can say.

Advice to Management
It seems like all other departments have someone that will fight for them. I wish our Management team would fight for setup too. We get blamed for everything that goes wrong and we just have to take their nasty emails and not say anything. When we process orders super fast to accommodate sales no one bothers to show their gratitude. It would be nice if setup would have someone to stand up for us and be a true liaison but there is nobody we can turn to. We should really be getting paid more for the amount of work we do.
