Horrible company- doesn’t care about employees will work to to the bone

Pros

Not a thing- don’t recommend

Cons

No brakes with 11+ hours Wishy-washy with what you pay for overtime will pay you overtime sometimes or will be missing so many hours off your check. Expect people to work far more than they should and for free. Very understaffed roots are getting bigger expecting people to pick up from there.
