Worst job I have ever hard.

Business Outlook

Pros

There were absolutely non at this job.

Cons

Where do I start. Managers were extremely rude. They favored employees who were rude, and would spend their time talking bad about everyone else. Workers were not recognized for work they had done. The employees the manager favored would not do their work. The employees who did their work were thrown under the bus by the manager, who then proceed to tell the head honcho we were not doing our work. Also people were falsely accused of doing things that never happened, and were written up for them. People would get wrote up for breathing wrong. All because the managers little friends didn't like those people. Do not work there..

I expected to be treated well by a company that purports to honor service and instead they conspired to end my career.

Pros

The wage and benefits were passable but substandard. Opportunities for career advancement are dismal.

Cons

The entire company is run by individuals with no motive other than profit and they don't care who they step on to get it.

Ok company if you dont want a life.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay as long as you don't mind working all the hours and having no family life.

Cons

Great pay if you don't mind working 60-65 hours a week. They treat their saleried employees like garbage and do not allow them to have a life outside of work. They also set you up to fail by giving you unreal numbers to achieve. For example, my department was ranked above average in the market and I was still let go because the new director didn't agree with me and thought we were on diffrent pages even though it was very hard to succeed when you are given a crew that is not up to par and they (upper mang.) will not allow you to let them go or move them to another department.
