      Pros

      Close to Robinson that's about it.

      Cons

      Horrible management, petty co workers and lazy unprofessional managers. Low pay hardly any vacation/sick time. God forbid you call off because your sick! No compassion.

      Pros

      The health insurance benefits are pretty good. You'll definitely get at east 40 hours a week.

      Cons

      We're in a constant state of being understaffed - I can't *imagine* why people wouldn't stay here. The pay isn't nearly enough for what you'll do, and you end up staying late most days because there aren't enough people to handle the workload. The superiors are complacent and insist on keeping things they way they are, even if they aren't working, and have even tried to quell HR complaints of mine so I didn't end up reporting anyone. (I did anyway.) There are people here who have been doing the same thing for 15 years. It's grim. It's bleak. Coming to work is such an emotional strain that I consider a new job every other day.

      Pros

      Insurance package is pretty decent.

      Cons

      No work-life balance. Minimum 8 hours a day, but you'll stay longer because there's always work to do.
