Pros

Pay- 16 dollars an hour is high for the area. However they never let you truly amass 40 hours.

Cons

Hours, Training, Benefits SO MICROMANAGED. You never get two days off in a row EVER. Training is so long, I mean months and months.You are constantly being micromanaged and tweaked CONSTANTLY. Even after training. Also, there is so much corny corporate lingo and cheesy crap, ew. You are all but forced to put money into a money market and the health insurance they offer is astronomical for a company that is so big and could afford to offer its employees better options.

Pros

You could have a dress down day if you contributed to the United Way. Nice to be able to wear jeans once a week.

Cons

They monitor everything including your bathroom breaks. I was told that I go to the bathroom 3 times on my shift for approx. 3 mins. and asked to limit my bathroom breaks to two. Crazy.

Pros

I don't do company reviews. I don't even lend credence to those that do, save a passing glance as my page is loading but luckily FIOS was running slow (which GEICO allows me to pay for, btw). I've never seen more juvenile, childish griping in my life. You want to talk pros? Start with the fact that you have a job. Not only a job, but a job in an industry that will only fail if the entire civilization in which it operates fails. Complaints about having to take meds or wear glasses? Who do you think provides the insurance benefits that would allow you to even explore these options? I pay $4 a month for Davis eye care and my entire family has health insurance for under $100/mo with a BCBS PPO; those scroundrels. While we're on the subject of health, why has no one mentioned the paid sick leave, vacation time and floating holidays we all receive? Not to mention maternity leave, emergency leave, bereavement, etc. At worst, you'll be asked to take leave without pay; you poor thing. This whole complaint board is full of people completely devoid of accountability and you should all take time out of your day to thank those around you for listening to your whining because, rest assured, no one even feels slightly sorry for you. You work for a company that pays for training, licensing, ongoing training, license renewals etc. yet you still think you deserve better? That must be why other companies are constantly banging at your door, right? I'm literally typing this post while on paid vacation. Anyone who takes time out if their day to say anything negative about their employer via Internet has effectively told you all you should no about their work ethic. Get over yourself.

Cons

The room temperature is a half degree too warm.
