Pros

Great people in non-management positions, comradery & collaboration!

Cons

Management team spends ridiculous amounts on the most absurd things, makes poor decisions, and faces zero consequences for their actions. Goals are often unattainable, data is ignored, and teams are overworked and then not compensated. The SAP implementation has cost millions and is an absolute mess.

Pros

Brand-name recognized, the amenities are great at the facility. The pay rate is "okay".

Cons

Disasterous merge of companies and the associated egos. Cost / Waste completely out of this world with no realization nor apparent accountability or responsibility. The hiring process of complete ill skilled, and barely capable of self care let alone quality and pride of doing a crucial job by job focus exists. Management us deplorable by highly energized to be "nice to each other".

Pros

Free Pop Bathroom sinks are used to wash feet, disgusting. Complain and you get put on a list of people who do not have compassion for others religious beliefs. How about making everyone follow the rules, Shutts?

Cons

Unannounced Layoffs Poor Pay Weak Management Two faced Management team Do you really like working with Temps who cannot understand the English language?
