Worst job experience I've ever had. Backstabbing, low moral, very heavy workload, worked too many hours.

Pros

Discount on food. Sadly, the only one I can think of.

Cons

Very low moral and no respect for management team in the offices. All major holidays are worked ( Easter and Christmas Eve.) The Sales Team is often rude and unprofessional at their convenience. Male dominated, no women past Purchasing Manager last I heard of so it's certainly "a boys club." I saw long time employees be passed up for positions to bring in a relatives of a manager and sales representative. It wasn't what you knew, it was all about who liked you. "Work harder not smarter" it felt like at times.
