Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for the area and half decent benefits

Cons

Rampant favoritism, horrible raises, no sick leave, no to little respect for the people who actually work on the floor, you are a number to them amd they will push you till you break, dosen't care about inside advice or concerns much, the upper management cares more about the numbers going out the door then employees. there is so much more I can't post it all.
