Pros

No pros. This company lacks in quality to say the least.

Cons

Where do I begin? Let’s start with the management of the sites. The communication for the company is poor. They are not on one accord when it comes to communication, and you’ll be told one thing and the next minute told a completely different thing. They do not have their payroll in order. I am still waiting on my first check and I started almost a month ago. The management tried to tell me that I wasn’t in the system, but I was already at my site working my post so that confused me. Then they tried to tell me how arrears work and that was incorrect. If we get paid weekly then that would mean I wouldn’t receive my first check till 2 weeks later. In this instance, I haven’t received my check in going on 4 weeks. I would not recommend working for this company at all. Save yourself the trouble. The man (Fundock) who hired me does not respond to any messages you may have and leaves you guessing. I had to drive to the Tampa office to see what was going on, because I hadn’t received my offer letter or schedule. 0/10 do not recommend

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
