Keeps getting worse

Pros

It used to be the people who worked there but most of those people who had created the family culture have jumped ship. I would have to say there are no pros to working here unless you have no where else to go.

Cons

Long hours, low hourly wage, high turnover and it is all a vicious cycle. Working 7 days straight and sometimes holidays and if you miss it counts against you. They give people way to many chances when they do not show up to work. It affects quality, moral and productivity.

Pros

i cant think of anything good working with the company..

Cons

its not a “zero-sexual harassment” tolerance! if you are under probation employee, you are nothing to them! they are tolerating bad attitudes of their employees, and even verbal harassment they cant do anything to solve the problem either in fact, they will fire you esp. if you are still in probation!
