Pros

They feed u if u go to training.

Cons

Pay is NOT up to par......mabye for sales but no one else. Lots of micromanaging. Managers won't enforce their own rules or company rules. They feed u enough BS to keep u hanging on Lots of broken promises. You can't take someone for their word. Management gets restaurant food and goes out having fun for training.....hourly gets stuck in a classroom for 8 hours listening to speeches and watching short videos. You get docked one hour if u don't take lunch. All conversations are done by email......but don't expect a reply when u really need one.
