Pros

It is a pay check

Cons

Corporate managers love to come in and threaten your job and belittle you. There is no moving up no matter how hard you try. And definitely there is a lot of favoritism and discrimination from corporate and upper management.

Both Good and Bad

Pros

A low stress work environment, good health benefits, amazing amount of PTO (almost a full month worth every year). Free to take breaks at any time that suits you, not watched too closely throughout the day, very independent work.

Cons

They set unrealistically high goals that they expect the production to meet. I tried to reach their "incentive", which is bonus pay for higher production rates, but it ended up burning me out after 2 years, and I ended up with extreme physical pain and mental exhaustion. There is a low base pay, my pay has stayed at 9 dollars an hour despite working there for 3 years. No raises, no expectations of raises either. That's what makes people try to achieve this "bonus" money, but it ends up burning them out entirely.

Pros

Good pto, holidays, bistro is awesome

Cons

Poor leadership, incompantant leadership, they show favortism, the pay is horrible, they claim to promote from within but they don’t. They use and stomp on employees. They are horribly unethical. They take money from the programs to pay their senior leadership, senior leadership makes good money while everyone else struggles to pay bills. The grossly underpay employees. HR is a joke and is incompetent, none of them know how to do their jobs and are extremely unprofessional
