Pros

Worked as a Sr software developer. If you survive for 3 months, they will keep you for ever until you quit. I worked as a contractor for 3 years and still do, it will be renewed again if the failed merger doesnt impact our department. Nice place, good people.

Cons

Lot of tenured employees, a lot of them worked for 15-20 years for the company but lack growth or failed to improve their skill. So they fight any change and they wield power. Lack of vision.

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
