Pros

Very good starting pay ($12/hour) and lots of overtime Decent insurance after 90 days Very respectful co-workers Chance to take financial and other courses on-the-clock!!

Cons

Very physical; we work on cement floors all day with no padding Days can reach 12 hours in December Less than 8-hour days in January and February (makes budgeting difficult) Management expects "yes sir" or "yes ma'am"; some team leaders are very strict regarding talking to other workers Very strict attendance policy. Regardless of the circumstance, we are disciplined if we miss a day of work (even when in the hospital!!) Must have either personal time or vacation accrued to avoid discipline.

Pros

The pay is much better than the average even for part time employees. Morale was always high, most people that I worked with loved coming to work, those that didn't never lasted long mostly because they are the chronically unemployable type. Generous vacation time too. Employee discount was a nice little perk too! Always have Sunday off.

Cons

I am still unclear if I had access to a 401k plan. Despite the above average pay scale there was a glaring lack of merit raises, each time the company riased hourly wages everyone then made the same amount per hour and it stayed that way, no one ever got an extra raise or an annual raise. Only raises I got while there was when ever the company did a base rate raise.
