Hard work means nothing.

Pros

Entry level pay is okay and they love to feed you.

Cons

They tell you to prove yourself and you can possibly get a spot on day shift. However people who don't produce but who are "liked" seem to get those slots. While others who literally need day shift are told they can't change shifts due to the business need. They never give bonus checks on time. They fire most of the good quality people too. The turnover rate is crazy. Raises shouldn't be based on classes.

Pros

Strong company culture, values, amazing co-workers, good benefits, growth and transfer opportunities

Cons

Not the best work-life balance, but that's standard in the industry. Rent discount is not the best, but is standard, as well
