Pros

Weekly pay (Every Tuesday) is about the only benefit of the job. Though work hours logged often do not match what is received on the paycheck. Very sketchy practice, but as an employee you are put on “notice” if you ever bring this concern to the attention of management.

Cons

Far too many cons to count. Office moral is nonexistent. Toxic work environment. Lots of favoritism regarding work schedule preference. Consistent satisfactory performance gets you no where. Most people don’t even show up for their scheduled shifts, but anyone that management likes will never be called out for call-outs or tardiness. High employee turnover rate. Every non-management employee is miserable. Please stop telling nonexempt (hourly) employees that management makes over $80K per year to basically do nothing. As an employee, you must be comfortable dealing with urine, feces, vomit and other bodily fluids while just trying to get through the shift. Would not recommend this company as an employer even to my worst enemy.
