Pros

Cox implemented a enterprise wide vaccine mandate even before the president made the mandate. Then had the arrogance to call a meeting and explain how the vaccine is a personal choice. Personal but if you don’t get it then screw your ability to earn a living. Thanks master.

Cons

Dictators and mandates are very bad.

Thanks for your feedback. We strongly believe in keeping our employees and communities safe; and as experts in the scientific and medical communities have proven, getting the COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to defend ourselves against this deadly pandemic and stop the spread of the virus. Prioritizing our employees’ safety is simply part of our values in action. We wish you all the best.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
