Pros

Severance Pay Non-discrimination policy included sexual orientation and gender expression Matching 401K Decent wage for hourly Good HR and company structure Learned a lot Clean work environment I'm really having a difficult time coming up with a lot of positive things to say, but it did have an ethics and a HR line to call concerning problems.

Cons

There was a lot of favoritism and discrimination against older workers and heavier people. You could work for years at this company and all of a sudden--laid off. They really love taking advantage of young people, fresh out of college, working salaried employees an obscene amount of hours then they eventually lay you off, give your job to a younger person or someone you trained overseas or in a different department. The environment is pretty hostile, a lot of back-biting, and there were mass layoffs on a regular basis along with individual layoffs peppered along the way.

Pros

Pay was better than most places at the beginning.

Cons

Upper management has zero clue how to connect with the employees at the shop level. Over-delegation with zero accountability. Problems aren’t actually solved, they’re just redirected in a way that creates more stress and issues for both employees and customers.
