Pros

I enjoy working with all my coworkers & the hours they were giving us until recently....

Cons

The cut our hours without no notice or asking or taking into consideration that we all have families .I've been here a couple years and we have never had a Christmas party. all the other employees been here 10 plus years and only 1 Christmas party was given...if you want to call it a party, it was a mexican restaurant and that's it.only 6 employees showed up. They never give us any annual bonus. only supervisor & managers do. theres one Lead here and there was a time when they didn't have a supervisor and she did all the work for almost a year then the new supervisor came in. when it was time for bonus you would think they would have some consideration and give her bonus based on the time she covered...NOPE! NOT 1 PENNY. the company gave it all to manager & supervisor .. Point is this company never ever shows any gratitude for their employees

Pros

There is plenty of room for growth since people leave often. The employees at corporate are great to work with You don't work holidays Competitive benefits w/ matching 401k Great location Treat day-once a month there are deserts (and sometimes prizes) for birthdays, anniversaries, and employee recognition.

Cons

So many people leave because it's too stressful. They're understaffed and overworked due to recent layoffs. They seem to pay based on experience, rather than performance.
