Pros

Ok benefits. Great co workers.

Cons

Too much work for one person. No leadership skills. Managerment are not train and dont know how to talk to their employees. Lots of favoritism. If you are not cool with management. You will not be promoted. Promote people that dont do any work but friends with management. No teamwork. Every man for themselves. Everyone hate being there but need a job to survive. No proper training. They expect you to know the job in one month which is impossible.

Pros

Benefit's and Having a Job are always a plus. Friendly work atmosphere. Great lighting!

Cons

When a light bulb is out it will take forever to have it replaced. Corporate keeps tabs on the number of people in the building for the allotted jobs. Their metric system will not let you get a 3% raise. The raise system is set by corporate. If you tell management your looking for a new job within the company, you are shunned by that boss Even if you stay with the company and move to a different department, they verbally said your dead to me more than once. Boss offered no suggestions for me to stay. Didn't care at all.

Pros

The training is about the only pro that I got from this company. I was able to use what I learned here and take it to a company more organized. Benefits are decent but not great.

Cons

Constant change....very unorganized! Unrealistic expectations. Management is extremely unprofessional. Management talks about co-workers to other co-workers. I am not sure if they even know what they are doing. It's like the blind leading the blind. Wouldn't even give this company 1 star if I had too.
