Pros

In the beginning pay and hours were good. Started out at 18+ an hour, good overtime.

Cons

After 2 years, pay was cut to 13+ an hour. Leadership was only interested in political correctness not the truth. No deduction for Social security disability , mandatory 401k that could not be accessed by employee until age 62. Keeping personnel on the roster long after they had been let go so the contract could be seen as fulfilled on paper.

Pros

There is the option for overtime. You get to meet new people and work with an array of people.

Cons

The office isnt concerned about their workers. Half the time you dont have anyone visit your site to see how things are going, and when theres a problem or you need something they arent quick to respond. If you let them, because they are short on officers as it is, they will work you to the ground, with very little concern for you. The office personnel are rude, unprofessional, and unorfanized. When they tell you something they dint stick to it, and if you have concerns with another coworker not doing their job right, and you bring it to a supervisors attention they dont care. You are for yourself, because even if you are right, to them you are wrong. They are not interested in you, they are interested in what they can get from you, and theyll always try to cover for themselves, before they cover for you. Its about them, not you.

Pros

Easy to get the job, enough work if you have friends in the office, will motivate you to get a better job.

Cons

Duplicitous and unethical culture at the corporate level, no value or respect for any employees, increasing workload on jobs that pay very very little, unprofessional and inept supervisors (both site and area), no room for advancement, HIGH turnover so you don't know if your boss is even there anymore...
