Pros

You are not micro managed. Your lunch breaks are not timed. Few women there are positive and uplifting. Your breaks are not Micro managed.

Cons

They allow someone to be the “fashion police”. Which means they can harass you about your clothing choice. Even though you don’t work directly with the public and after all it is a lumber yard on the west side of town. Word of advice dress down otherwise you will be looked at sideways for looking nice too. Whatever you do don’t work in the credit department the women are jaded and are so incredibly negative. One in particular likes to turn the women against each other with malicious/untrue gossip which in turn causes yelling and drama which makes for a hostile work environment. This one likes to use the office as her personal “Big Brother House”. They get kicks out harassing one older lady in particular. It’s very sad and pathetic. Yet management turns a blind eye. If you stand up for yourself to one of the many ferrell women you will be reviewed as not being able to successfully handle conflict. Absolutely no training provided and they will not pay you based on your education. They pay you as if you only have a high school degree.
