Decent salary for most positions. Fairly calm work environment in most positions. Supervisors are typically fair. Guaranteed 40 hour work week.

Work in all weather conditions in physical positions. Restrictive requirements for certain positions. Promotions are only for those her "buddies" with the supervisor. Very difficult to receive interview or given a chance to advance. Micro managed in office positions.

Pros

Our team is genuinely one of the company’s greatest strengths. People consistently show up for each other, whether someone has a question, needs guidance, or just needs a second set of eyes. There’s a real sense of kindness and collaboration here — everyone jumps in without hesitation, and it creates an environment where you feel supported, valued, and able to do your best work.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of formal training when you start, which makes it difficult to feel fully prepared in your role. Management is often busy and not always available when questions come up, so getting timely guidance can be inconsistent. Processes and directions also tend to shift quickly — announcements are made, and then expectations change shortly after, which creates confusion. At times, upper leadership communicates in a way that feels more like talking at employees rather than engaging with them, and concerns raised by staff can be overshadowed by comments about leadership bonuses or priorities that don’t align with what employees are asking for.
