You can make a livable wage here, if you are an hourly employee they have tremendous perks such as drawings, tv giveaways, gift cards, and if you are within your 60 days they will baby you and give you almost anything you ask for

Cons

once you are salary they work you like a slave hourly team members can make as much as some salary workers with working less than 60 hours a week. Salary workers are required to work a lot more than the paid 80 hours every two weeks that is on the pay check.
