Pros

None at all. The company's leadership is a joke and does not treat all associates in a professional manner.

Cons

Upper management should all be required to have some kind of formal human resources training.

Pros

Quick advancement, free food on parcking lot sales7

Cons

This place is a joke and a con at its best. They are always saying how it is the best place to work, how good they pay you, and that your home work life balance is great! All lies! They will use you, lie to you, manipulate you and expect you to be greatful for the "opportunity" to alloe them to do so. That place is as big of a joke as the owner who claims to have built the company when it was actually his dad who did everything.
