Pros

Great culture, recognition and the company promotes team work.

Cons

The culture will drown out the negatives of a lot of bad stuff. First thing, instead of pay raises they did a blanket raise of 1.5% acrossed the company. The computer systems are so outdated and unsecure. Every thing runs on the cloud environment. Windows 7 terminals and windows server 2008. The registers crash multiple times a day. When you submitted a ticket you were contacted several hours later by a support person who could barley speak English. Ths parts catalog was all but useless. Next was company resources. If you needed to contact anybody outside of your direct supervisor , such as HR or IT. You had to submit a ticket and get ready to wait. Most people with experience start off at $10 an hour. Most GMs start at 40k a year. Pay raises are almost never given. They just installed cameras in the delivery vehicles. Which watch you live. You speed over 5mph more than 3 times your terminated on the spot. They use the cameras as intimidation. They don't stock their DCs well. Constant shortages and no stock to order in. This company does not like free thinkers. It's there way or no way PERIOD.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
