Pros

Competitive pay, decent benefits, easy work

Cons

Coworkers were horrible people. Whoever recruited them needs to be do a better job at vetting their applicants. Nothing was ever done to resolve issues that persisted the entire length of my employment, no matter to whom the incidents were reported. This company was very clearly more concerned about making money than the well-being of their staff, despite trying to convince us otherwise with their newsletters and webinars designed for us to think we can connect with others. I experienced my first panic attack working here, the onset of which begun not even 30 minutes after my shift started. The cherry on top was when they informed us of their decision to close all the offices in our state, giving us less than a month to prepare before terminating all 75 of us. Do not work here.

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.
