Pros

Good pay. If you suck up to the right managers.

Cons

Waaaaaay to many managers. Which makes all managers mostly lazy self centered bums. Managers receive quarterly bonuses. Hourly employees receive no bonus or any incentive program. Besides being allowed to work overtime. When it suits managers. Senior management speaks highly of values but when push comes to shove values go right out the door

Pros

Most Employees were very good to deal with Great benefits Close to home

Cons

Very difficult to move up in the company Would be required to work long hours in a day, or be "on call" and if you got called out in the middle of the night for say 4 hours, instead of paying you overtime they would require you to come in 4 hours late 2 days after you were called out. There was nothing to make you want to be there, they removed all employee perks. Very poor Management. Pay was minimal for the work done. (i've worked at places with less pay and were a100 times more enjoyable)

Pros

If you are an out-going person and like working with equipment and the people who use them, you will gain alot of contacts working here. If you are blessed with a managment team that gives you direction and allows you to get involved with every aspect of operations, as I have, you will gain knowledge and skills that will carry you through more possibilties that you can imagine. The best part is if you are a mediocre worker, and are employed there just for a paycheck, you only have to show up on time and do the minimum to keep you job... until you die or get let go for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Oh, and if you are let go, down expect ANY NOTICE.

Cons

You will learn how to get around micro-management so that you can actually help the customer and do the job that keeps the doors open. You will have to justify every minute you are on the clock which will slow down your productivity. You will be asked to get something done immediatley and then be bogged down in red tape. You will have to work with people who create an un-safe work environment, until, after months, they are fired. You will have to deal with your daily priorities being changed every fifteen minutes. You will have to deal with management's daily attitude swings. You not be able to trust anyone..expecially human resources to side with you in any conflict. If you start at a bottom position, you will have to be taught "on the Job" and take the consequences for inefficiency or bad desicions. You will only be praised during store meetings. You will have to eat alot of corporate propaganda, or what I call BS. No matter what anyone says, you will only be making a wage, pay for your own retirement, (if you are lucky), and health insurance. No other incentives will actually come through for you. The best part you can look forward to is deteriorating health due to MAJOR daily stress. So, when the day comes you have worked four hours and you feel it was like ten hours....it's time to move on.
