Pros

Nice campus. Flexibility of schedules, sometimes.

Cons

Middle management was awful and was allowed to abuse lower-level workers. CEO disengaged. Most people couldn't identify them. Employees were singled out if they didn't fit in and were pushed out.

Pros

It's nice to get paid weekly. Also the extra pay incentive to work weekends makes it worth it.

Cons

This is the worst ran company to work for! There are too many "chiefs" & no one has any answers! They tell you to go through the chain of command when you have a question or concern but they will just point you to the next person and you get no where! They're rules are always changing so their staff all afraid one little slip will get them terminated so they won't help you with anything and if you complain-again you won't get anywhere! Getting hours is also a joke! You have to compete & fight for hours on a website where thousands are all trying to access! Lord forbid you sleep in or your computer goes down (mind you that you will have to get up at before 6 am pst to fight for hours!) Then once you get hours & enter what's available there's no guarantee you will get those hours. You have to wait 2 days before the new week starts to see if you've been approved! It's a joke there! Don't get me started on the staff! One of the head honchos there does not do her homework. She will accuse you of not following protocol but have no proof! She's done this to almost every employee there & again you can't complain!!
