Pros

Nice gym, cafeterias with great food and friendly staff, nice co-workers. However, a lot of companies offer these amenities and more these days.

Cons

I was relocated only to find out two weeks in the company was doing a re-org and major layoffs were coming. My s/o also left a good job to come with me. 3 months in my position was eliminated and I was laid off. The training is also non-existent. They had no SOP in my department. It was learn as you go and get your hand slapped when you made a mistake. Absolutely antiquated processes that make everything 10x more difficult and stressful than they need to be. Most frustrating job I've ever had.

Pros

Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

Cons

The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
