Pros

You work with great people and learn a WIDE array of skills for a resume. You'll learn the basics that you'd learn with any restaurant but also a lot about electronic and mechanical repair. The company has a pretty rigid HR department with regard to hiring and other policies so you can be well trained on that as well. Most of all though you work with and meet a lot of great people.

Cons

Over the past couple years they've really adopted a mentality that people are expendable. Everyone is just a number. You are expected to deal with ever increasing work-loads and nobody is terribly concerned with burnout. They have a great system in place to have you replaced at a moment's notice. As such there is a real problem with morale throughout the entire company.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
