Pros

It's a good gig overall where any age of employee with advancement opportunities. The pay is fair, the hours are steady and the benefits are actually pretty good.

Cons

They have high turnover which means a lot of newbies are always coming in and slowing down production or causing problems.

Pros

Semi flexible work schedule, opportunity for growth as company grows. Most people are friendly and willing to help you if you have questions.

Cons

PTO sucks. Workload can be a bit overwhelming, some managers try to be too political and freindly with who they like and don't work as hard with helping develop all their employees. This could be a reason for the large turnover problem

A den of thieves.

Pros

The work atmosphere is casual and they have great benefits.

Cons

There's a serious undercurrent of dishonesty throughout the Hutchins location. They systematically cheat on the employees certifications- certifications that are intended to promote excellence. The training program itself is great, but you are pushed through it at a rate that is impossible to absorb the material, and there is an employee on staff who will take the test for you at a $50 rate. Management knows about this and encourages it. Applied mediocrity! The sales managers also engage in bullying tactics to manipulate the sales team- it's like something out of the 1960's. It's hard to believe this is going on in the modern day with such a large successful corporation.
