Pros

Good benefits, always room to move up in the company, if you run your quota you get what's call an instant recognition certificate and get various items with it or turn it in for an extra $20 on your check, company picnics, if your shift runs over your quota then they have food catered during one of your breaks.

Cons

You'll get overtime but don't know how long it's gonna last. And the extra money you get on your check from the instant recognition certificateso take a few weeks to be put on your check

Pros

Good salary but for long hours.

Cons

Director is out of touch and number driven. Upsetting direct workers shifts, and thus homelife doesn't make for a happy workforce. Too much of a click between Management and certain employees making unfair treatment of 'not in the click' decent workers.
