Pros

Reasonable pay Good bonus scheme Can purchase additional holiday

Cons

Make a big thing about caring for their employees, respecting everyone and winning the right way but that all gets swept under the rug when it really matters.

Pros

Great pay! You can get overtime as a salaried employee! Medical benefits are amazing! I paid about $350 a month for medical, vision, and dental benefits for my family.

Cons

The site manager is very vindictive if you do not agree with her. As a salaried employee you get paid 1 time a month.
