Not a good place to work

Pros

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing. I needed 5 words for this review.

Cons

They need to listen to the people that actually do the work, not the managers that have no idea what's going on. Stop using fear as a way to silence the employees from speaking the truth. Stop the favoritism. They eliminated an entire shift and had to choice between 2 supervisors, one that knew how to run, tear down, clean and set up the department and the other only knew how to run. Which one do you think they went for? The first? Nah, that would make sense. Instead they choose a lazy arrogant supervisor that barely shows up or can't stay to finish out the shift. Talk about favorites. You ask us to help out other departments, people and even cross train but then when someone does they get told to stop because they aren't paying them to work in another department even when that other department is paying them to help. Economy is rough and everyone is trying to make a living, stop trying to make us feel bad for wanted more time and money so we can pay the bills. This isn't a family company. I wouldn't treat my family this way.

Pros

Great philosophy as a company and a brand There are some great people there who grin and bare it

Cons

Where to start? Passive-aggressive management that pretends issues don't exist, vindictive (under-qualified) supervisors who power-trip and treat new employees terribly, incredibly hostile employees, some discrimination (I wouldn't call it racism, but it come close), regular hazing, no due process for employees who are being disadvantaged, incredibly disorganized and work schedules completely disrespectful of work-life balance. On the whole, it feels like management are mostly under-qualified and trying to fake their way through it. There is no clear vision, supervision, or accountability at the top. Here are a few exact quotes shared with my during my time there... from supervisors or higher- "Amy's isn't a racist place to work. There is a policy that there is no racism, so there isn't any" "While we don't have a racist component to our culture, we need to be extra careful we manage situations that appear to be racist, even though they really aren't. We don't want people to think we approve of that sort of discrimination just because it appears to be happening" "Why can't I pick the people I want to work on my team? Why does HR and the temp agency get to decide? I will change the job description to say "Must Speak Spanish" as a requirement" "He's no good. He's always happy and talking. One time he got hurt and asked if he could sit in a chair for a minute. I can't use workers who always need chairs"
