Pros

Benefits are good and affordable. Employee discount at 20% is nice. I liked the crew I work with and the community I serve.

Cons

Since Covid struck in 2020, it has becoming increasingly obvious how the company feels about it's employees - expendable. Management has lost sight of it's core values. They cherry pick as to how they adhere to them. Blatant favoritism. Human Resources is not your friend and will not protect you.
