Pros

The only pro is that you get a paycheck.

Cons

They treat employees like factory workers and professional level employees have to clock in on a wall as well as log in on their computers. They administer a point system and with 18 points in a 6 month period, you are terminated. There is no capacity to take time off and if you leave for an emergency, you get points. I worked there over 20 years and the company has changed for the worst and they are losing so much money. The managers are forced to treat people like numbers and they only care about the metrics that have been forced on them. They micromanage every minute of your day and they even look at how many non-business websites you visit each day. There is no work-life balance and the new model that they are using is tearing the company apart. Thanks to the new CEO, he's taking the company down.

Pros

Great pay Benefits 401K Pension Ability that the ADA HR team will work with you to help you obtain an accommodation, if needed.

Cons

Non-optional overtime Not enough employees The way the company handles requesting time off, never get approval for days requested The new attendance/absence policy, where if you're unscheduled absence you receive "points" - and so many points can equal termination. Makes employees feel like they are in high school. Very unfair policy. Pay isnt worth the stress of the job

Pros

Use to be family friendly. Use to support employees and provide great customer service

Cons

Run away from this employer. This is no longer for career minded folks. They will drain you and use you until you quit. High attrition rate
