Pros

I loved customer service and working the register. That part was fun!

Cons

The boss was my con. No one trained me. When I asked the boss for help she was "busy". Then after my shift was over for truck day she said we barely got anything done, YET I had no one to tell me where to put everything! She also pushed me every single day to work more hours even though I was hired part time. Nothing was ever good enough. She broke rules, but knit picked my every move. She took 30 minute breaks and I worked 10 hour shifts and got NO BREAK!!! Ridiculous! Also, my co-worker worked 60 hours a week. When she was gone, my boss said she is lazy! That is unprofessional!

Pros

“One of the most rewarding parts of my role was building my team and continuing to learn. The plant employees consistently supported one another, which made the work meaningful.”

Cons

Corporate leadership made collaboration difficult. Criticism was frequent and often came from individuals without plant-level knowledge. I was told I was “wrong” while actively teaching and supporting them. Corporate leadership operated under different rules than the plants, including separate vacation plans and holidays. Equal treatment was never achieved, and the belittling behavior was unlike anything I had experienced in a professional environment. The culture reflected a clear “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. In my experience, Corporate HR lacked transparency and demonstrated questionable ethical practices. Accountability was inconsistent, which made it difficult to lead effectively and retain strong talent.
