Pros

Christian workplace, good facilities, and good computer network.

Cons

Bankruptcy forced the sale of the company, and that is a shame. It felt like we could have pulled out of bankruptcy and survived, but that just didn't happen.

Pros

Not much to say other than the team work our department displayed was very well orchestrated with no credit to be given on the part of our supervisors.

Cons

Management was always in meetings that never accomplished anything. Extremely wasteful do as i say and not as I do leadership.

Pros

work hours. The three different shifts hours works pretty good. The caferitia food is good and the prices are competitive.

Cons

supervisors and leads play favoritism. employees are treated as children. the equipment is unsafe, bad knifes, holely gloves, and the boot wash hardly ever works.
