Low Pay, Terrible Benefits, Awful Staffing

Business Outlook

Pros

None. One of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

Cons

Cannot keep staff due to low pay, terrible benefits, and poor staffing. Can’t approve PTO days because they have no staff to cover. Pay doesn’t equate to the amount of work you’re required to do.
