Pros

Easy job that doesn’t require a lot of physical work.

Cons

Consistently hires new employees at higher rates than old ones and doesn’t give long-term employees raises to match. They encourage you to quit and get re-hired to get a raise because it’s easier than actually getting HR to approve it. It’s a decent short term job, but long term you’ll be stuck making close to what they hired you for, while newer employees are making anywhere from $1-4/hr more than you. When you ask them to adjust it, they’ll tell you it’s a long process and that HR will deny it a few times first and tell you it will take a lot of patience. I’ve been told a few times that they are aware of the issue and that all the other long-term employees have had to deal with this as well. They also tend to cut hours for the older employees in favor of scheduling the new ones for training. They often change your schedule by adding, changing or taking away shifts without notice. This can happen anytime from the week of to the same day as your shift. They expect you to check WorkJam daily to see if your shifts have changed rather than scheduling for 2 weeks out and leaving it as is. This makes it very hard to make plans outside of work, or have multiple jobs.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
