Pros

Fast over t her phone interview.

Cons

Poor hiring practice Terrible communication Possible age discrimination I got the job. Received an offer letter and welcome email on a Friday. All I had to do was complete my drug screen, which was set for Monday. I received an email Monday morning, on my way to the drug screen, letting me know that my start date was full and they would have to set a different one. Of course they did not know when that would happen. Two days later they informed me that I was no longer considered for this role. How do you go from an offer letter to no longer being considered? Why hire more people than you need? There is either no communication amongst their staff or possible discrimination based on my background check (which was clean). The information that is gathered from a background check can produce an age bias. Also, this place does nothing tell you up front that you have to have your own tools but can buy from them. Also think about if I had quit a job based on the fact that this place hired me. As you can tell I am not happy and would not recommend any job with this company.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
