Pros

Good pro and sick time Great opportunity to learn and gain skills that can apply to many different jobs.

Cons

Ever since new ownership I have watched the company decline in their upper management style. They slashed labor to the point that you are killing yourself and working several positions at once. They have continued to add on new services like more shipping and passport photos but no extra labor even though it's already impossible to meet demands. Bonuses that are based on sales metrics are now nearly unattainable due to the shortened labor and larger workload and you get nothing but negative emails several times a day from leadership about poor metrics but never any offer of how to help. Employee moral us the lowest I have ever seen and after 8 years I make 40 cents more than someone who is entry level even though I am great at my job and for years top metrics in my district.
