      Pros

      Big Company with good benefits

      Cons

      Upper management needs to get more involved with the employees, learn their trade to see how most of them are being under paid, many employees come to this company and they get disappointed soon and leave, one reason is the very low wages, they try to keep you in the middle of the wage scale even though you stand out, not many employees are towards the top of the pay scale, that's how they save money.

      The worst company I have ever worked for!!!!!!!!!

      Pros

      You get paid and their are benefits. They only contribute 5% to your 401k after a year and you aren't fully vested until you have worked for the company for 5 years when most places it's 10% and your fully vested after 3 years.

      Cons

      Well to start off with the location I work at is dangerous has no security. Absolutely filthy and disgusting. If I try to speak up I am basically told nothing will change and that's just the way it is. They are constantly breaking labor laws. This company is a bunch of high school bullies that want to claw their way to the top and leave you out in the dust. I am not able to be specific on incidents for security purposes but if you like wondering if you will have a job, kissing up to unintelligent people, letting people use you and can't even breathe because of how under staffed you are then this is the company for you.
