Pros

The benefits were decent but cost more than I would have liked. Mostly a Monday through Friday position but some Saturdays are required if a holiday falls during the week.

Cons

The hours were terrible. We would start at 5:30am with no idea of when we would get off. I never worked one week below 50 hours and overtime is calculated by your production rate so they can pay you less the more you work. Management is clueless about what is actually going on in the field but insisted on micromanaging your entire day.

Pros

have nothing good to say. i get a check every week. that's about it.

Cons

They dim your light here, instead of making it shine brighter. they smash that light bulb on the floor and step all over it to make sure that it will NEVER try to light again. i have applied to multiple positions within the company and each and every time, I do not get it. No one explains why, nor the tell you what you can do to qualify.
