Great until new owners took over.

Pros

Other employees were very enjoyable to work with on a personal level.

Cons

Crazy ammounts of overtime that turned a good annual salary into less than minimum wage if you take in account of hours worked. Most other employees at company would do as little as possible and cause management to schedule them for overtime. Company recruits temporary labor force who majority of them look like they are on many different types of drugs.

Pros

Coworkers are cool- for the most part. Work life balance is actually excellent. You don't take your work home and the hours are great.

Cons

Management is absolutely terrible and clueless; money is not what they say you will make; leadership gives you a sales quota but will not be able to explain why that is your goal. Also, there is very little room for advancement. Management seems to be intimidated by rockstars on their team and decisions are made based on that fear.

Pros

MInd numbingly easy work. Free food if was left over in the lane. No real pluses to mention.mostly bad for me.

Cons

Too many to mention. No job security. Worst job I ever had. Quit after 8 months. The cliques and gossiping was like high school. No real training. Seemed like managers were flying by the seat of their pants hoping to not get canned all the while causing conflict between coworkers to ensure their job. Taking matters into your own hand and being creative frowned upon.
