Pros

At first glance I thought I was getting on board with a growing company that had tremendous potential.

Cons

Company growth was allowed without the structure in place to support it. The company is constantly trying to play catch-up to make the structure support new acquisitions but doesn't get it right before the next acquisition is made. They could pay multiple people with the amount of waste in this place. Benefit cost are high and time-off plans are far less generous than other US companies. Based on compensation studies for the area, I make less than 25% of the people in this area doing the same job.

Pros

Managers are relaxed, you get to meet a lot of cool people and celebrities, free meals, and massage chairs at job for breaks.

Cons

I was assistant manager and witnessed people quit left and right and call out. Management is very catty and likes to talk about everyone’s personal business which makes it more of a high school job. If you’re in school or just got out this is the perfect location for you but if you’re looking for room to grow DONT WORK HERE. I worked many overnight shifts under staffed, and the managers consistently let these workers come back which makes nobody take the job serious. A lot of overnight shift I worked to provide for my family and I still was barely able to make ends meet. It wasn’t worth it when I was so tired from a shift and barely made it home safe to my boys. Management simply doesn’t care about your personal life as long as you make it to work on time. A lot of gossiping and cattiness and drama.

Pros

There are no pros that I can think of.

Cons

They treat there employees like they are slaves working in a sweat shop sometimes where employees are forced to work weekends or work 24 hours in a row. The President of the SC Group (Petrogas Group Sc LLC) favors those employees from Ireland. The tactic the Controller uses scare tactics threatening to fire employees if they don't focus and meet deadlines or she just yells at you in front of others. There is no professionalism here. Staff will stab you in the back just to make them less of a target for upper management. At times, I saw sensitive employee medical information just lying around for others to look through.
