Pros

They offer spiffs and sick time. They're pretty up front about the pay and attendance expectations.

Cons

wish I could give this job full five stars. The manager staff is under a lot of guidelines which turn them into stress freaks. All the good managers are gone and the ones with no coaching abilities are still around. Doesn't make sense.

Pros

Take care of employees, lots of growth

Cons

Low entry level pay scale. One you have a foot in the door there are places to go but getting there is tough on low initial wages.
