Pros

The staff all got along, and if you needed time off it was easy to find coverage

Cons

If someone did not show up for a shift, you had to stay and cover.

We appreciate you bringing that up, and it’s something we’re always looking to manage better to support our Associates. Thank you for being part of the team for over two years.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
