Pros

Would be okay if they would back up their employees instead of throwing them under the bus.

Cons

Will make you do illegal things and then when you are busted will not defend you and make you do the jail time for their incompetence. Will not provide you adequate training to do your job. They will tell you that you are allowed to do something when in reality it is illegal. Then when you are sitting rotting in a jail cell they will not provide you with a lawyer. They would not send me the required documents to prove what I was doing and instead required a subpoena from a lawyer. Since they did not provide legal consul if you are broke then you have no recourse to help make a suitable defense for yourself. They would blame the employees when it was 100% their faults that I was in that situation in the first place. Do not work for this company unless you want to go to jail for something you didn't do.

Too many chiefs, means employees get treated badly

Pros

Employee owned/stock options. Steady work, all across the 🇺🇸

Cons

Employee's don't get the treatment they deserve. Extremely physical job, and extremely dangerous. Always a fight to get raises, need to watch your checks closely. Tend to make errors in payroll. Way too many people in management! My boss has 6 bosses, and they all get profit sharing bonuses, much higher salerys, and don't do the hard work that makes this company $. This company keep growing, and the real working people seem to get less, and less every year. Insurance is a joke now, dedutables are so high, you basically dont have insurance unless something major happens. Training and safety has gotten worse over the years, the constant pressure from management to always make more $ every year seems to play a factor in that aspect. There really is no formal training, except for a couple of weeks long classes every couple of years, if your lucky. For a job that puts your life in danger every single day, you would think training would play more of a role.

Pros

Affordable health insurance premium, yearly raises, good work/life balance for the admin assistants (40 hrs week, 5 or more days PTO + sick time).

Cons

Worked as an admin assistant (secretary) & my coworker was extremely hostile and created an incredibly toxic work environment that management refused to fix. Management at multiple levels, trainers, other secretaries & sales reps from other offices all know about this pattern of behavior yet nothing has ever been done. They laughed at the interview about the coworker being "difficult" and said as long as I did my work there would be no problems (not the case). This will continue with the next person in this position. Not worth the pay for the stress. I strongly advise job seekers to keep looking if they are considering this office.
