      Pros

      Middle management and below were all fantastic! It's a shame that upper management wouldn't listen to them.

      Cons

      Greenwashing, empty virtue signaling, low morale, no growth opportunities

      Pros

      Excellent co-workers: Most people are kind, loving, outdoorsy, and could be your lifelong friends, too.

      Cons

      There is no future moving up the ladder unless you belong to a specific category. No matter how good a performance you show up. The management doesn't care. People can do mediocre jobs and get promoted. It's all politics and chemistry with the managers.

      Pros

      All you have to do is average 25-30 hours weekly for benefits. I picked up an insene amount a shifts and they were forced to make me full-time. You can move up in the company You get a raise every year Great employee discounts

      Cons

      They intentionally schedule you under the 25-hour mark so you will never get benefits. Promotions aren't based on skills. It is based on favoritism alone. Raises are 1-5% each year. The amount you receive is based on how high you are rated. They are anti-union and engage in union-busting tactics They continuously decrease the discount employees get. They treat people with disabilities extremely poorly. It is really sad actually. They bully disabled people until they quit or find a few mistakes they make and fire them over it.
