Pros

On-site cafeteria with good, cheap food Some jobs are very easy Bonus every 3 months Great healthcare/insurance Private clinic

Cons

Low pay (intro $16/hour) Pay does not scale with skill No room for growth Genuinely cruel upper management, referred to production employees as "scum at the bottom of the barrel" Not safe place for minorities/LGBTQ+/disabled individuals Sexual harassment not taken seriously Buildings are so large that you spend half your break just getting to the cafeteria Took away overtime completely after having unlimited overtime for many years, people can no longer make ends meet

Pros

I left my old wage here because Cook just gave a $1 increase to current employees but not new ones, so yeah.. any ways the Benefits, Schedule flexibility, and Overtime are probably the only good things.

Cons

Higher-ups suck. Ranging from team leads to middle management. Lots of other departments are typically nice, but some departments are all about control and leave no room for moving up, especially with all the favoritism each department has.
