Pros

Decent wages, sponsored sport teams

Cons

Health Insurance is horrible, only offer HSA's with high out of pocket. No paid time off until 6 months. You are given 2 unpaid day's for the first 6 months, even though you may only need to take an hour off your scheduled shift, they count it as a full day. You are given 2 breaks, each 10 minutes with a bell at 9 minute mark and a 30 minute lunch, with a bell at 27 minutes. You are not eligible for a bonus until you've been there 3 years! The HR department doesn't follow through with commitments. Proper safety/osha equipment isn't supplied in a timely manner. Recently was informed that we would be required to work Christmas week, and that we would be given 2 day's of unpaid time to make up for the short notice, yeah ok! Have recently had several benefits taken away.

Pros

Steady biweekly paycheck. PTO is pretty good.

Cons

High Deductible HSA is not real insurance. College educated professionals are treated like factory workers. Micromanagement on a scale that any communist would be proud of. Window dressing perks but nothing of real substance. HR runs the company and your manager has no real control. Feels more like high school than a place of business.
