Pros

Benefits, 401k match, nothing else just needed at least 5 words

Cons

Upper management was clueless, treated employees terribly, expected you to devote 100% of your time to the job, treated you poorly if you even dared to put your family first, when the division stated failing, didn't do anything to try to make it work - weren't winning work & did nothing to correct it. No wonder the division is shutting down.

Pros

The job pays the bills. They will hire anyone of the streets.

Cons

Lots of cry babies. Everyone is watching each other. Waiting for someone to make a mistake. So they can rat you out. I was there 11 years. Lots of white people in the office who hate everyone. HR is a joke. The workers have more experience than the supervisor. They will fight you for your unemployment. Your best friend there is really your worst enemy. Everyone puts each other down. No appreciation or respect. You have to buy food and cigarettes for your Foreman to get a raise. I didn't put up with none of this. That's why I'm gone. PRIDE .
