Pros

Paid weekly and decent food. Starting pay for outside hires is great

Cons

Everything else horrible bad atmosphere, upper management doesn’t care employees are treated like a number. Very racist company will only show favoritism to Spanish people. Your very overworked and under appreciated. No one cares and upper management really doesn’t care. It’s a Spanish good ol boy network.
