Pros

They had an onsite gym and a clinic on site.

Cons

Oh where to start. Lack of advancement, people being hired for positions based on if you were friends with the manager even if you have multiple HR violations, they don't handle actual problems, they do not care about their employees what so ever, the pay was awful for a high risk job, they don't care if your injured and try to force you to work through your injury, and I'm sure there's more I just can't think of right now. $20 isn't worth potentially contracting something from the animals or living with an injury from work that the company will do everything they can to make getting compensation as hard as possible.

Pros

The people you work with under the leadership level are great and truly try their best every day to do the best job they possibly can.

Cons

Everyone is severely underpaid for the amount of work they’re expected to do. People will quit/be fired/laid off and no additional help is provided. Those who remain are expected to pick up all of the slack. Leadership is variable on the day-to-day but you never truly feel supported or like your problems are taken seriously enough to resolve. Individuals are actively urged not to present counter job offers as a way to negotiate higher pay or a different position because “the site head doesn’t like it”.
