Pros

Decent money, paid uniforms, boot allowance.

Cons

They’ll post a job online stating a specific shift, you apply to said specific shift, get hired on, then they later force you to another shift. Never mention anything about rotating when you’re hired. Straight lie to your face.

Pros

Pay and some of the hard working guys.

Cons

Oh man.... so much of a good ole boy’s club! If you haven’t been there for 20+ years, good luck to you. Some of the departments have pockets of really great people, but most of the tenured staff are unwelcoming, close minded and even rude to the newer and younger team. Lay-offs will always hit the newer team members even if the good ole boys are lazy.
