      If you are looking for good pay and holidays off, don't work here.

      Pros

      I work in the Data Entry dept in one of their 2 corporate offices. We can wear jeans, sweatshirts and listen to our own music all day.

      Cons

      The pay is really bad. If you don't "need" the job to pay bills, then that's good because you won't get paid very much at all. You'll have to work holidays except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Asking for time off around the holidays probably won't happen, either, unless you are one of the favorites. The work isn't very hard, but you still have to keep your numbers up or they will get rid of you. Overall, it's not the worst job I've ever had.

      Pros

      As it stands - I haven't seen much in the way of pros because I am too busy picking up after everyone else that leaves!

      Cons

      Turnover rate is incredibly higher than any job I've worked in my life; ill managed, poor work conditions, and generally a negative place to be!
