Pros

Medical and Dental benefits were great but comes at a price. The price paid for great Medical benefits is lower salary/hourly wages and poor vacation plan. Even after that consideration, they underpay industry standard by at least 10%. They do have a pseudo family atmosphere, better than most companies that boast of such. However, like any family there is dysfunction.

Cons

Owner of company holds the purse strings so tight, onward and upward movement is stifled. THE WORST Corporate vacation plan in the country, no accrual process. You have to be there 10 years before the national average vacation plan is met. If you are comfortable with the status quo this is the place for you. If you have drive and ambition this could be a stepping stone or just miss this step. Majority Dividends and control of the company are held within the brotherhood.

Pros

Good health benefits and 401k

Cons

Open Door policy is a joke. Employees raise concerns according to the ""open door policy" with HR. rather than investigate the ongoing abusive behavior of the identified employee, HR and upper management consider the rightful complaint as an issue of the informant. They look for ways and try to dig up dirt on the informant and punish the victim, rather than address the issue. Nobody can be trusted there, unless you are apart of the exclusive brotherhood clan. If you still work there, this behavior and mindset will never change. Look for another job in order to save your sanity.

Pros

Able to work and look for another job. I started looking for another job after 48 hours here. The club is not for me here.

Cons

Nothing more than a Walmart vendor. The place is cut throat, they care about no one except Walmart.
