Pros

Co-workers are like family and look out for your safety. Also, excellent training courses.

Cons

Upper management doesn’t support staff. Slow on compensation and commission. Absolutely no upper mobility unless you are part of a select group or the CEO’s son. HR does not keep employee reports confidential so there is no way to report work abuse ( Hello EOC). Also, management lacks diversity.

Pros

Very intense training. This is a good fit for the individual that likes to do thing by the rules.

Cons

I was hired before my physical was cleared. I quit a good paying job and I am not allowed to work as many hours until my physical has been cleared. I was not told when I was hired that my physical had not been cleared. And I am being told that if my physical does not clear by the 90 day mark, I will be out of a job.
