Pros

I thought benefits till I realized that I can make more for less an hour that are not being subjected to taxes they charge from the employees to save the company money.

Cons

No room for advancements as they preach. Its only about lining their pockets with employees hard work. 5% bonuses from a multi-million dollar company when others in the same industry is paying out no less than 15%. They make the employees pay their own taxes from "gift cards" given at Christmas time. They take your contributions. Tell you that you are 100% vested on year 3. But force you to wait till year 5, before you can access it. They won't stop you on loans from it with 12% interest payback that only 3% is put back into your account. It's a scam that they have exploited for years.

Pros

Great benefits overall when it comes to medical, 401k match and other benefits.

Cons

Work load and the department has very high expectations for this job. It's almost like an account manager/ customer service roll.

Pros

I have no pros that I can think of

Cons

I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
