Pros

Affordable Benefits – The benefits package is reasonably priced, which is a plus for employees. Training – The initial training program is thorough and helps prepare you for the role.

Cons

Extreme Micromanagement – Every move is scrutinized, leaving little room for autonomy or trust. Ineffective Coaching & Nonexistent Feedback – Coaching opportunities feel more like criticism without constructive guidance. Feedback is rare and inconsistent, making growth difficult. Unpredictable One on Ones – Scheduled check-ins are sporadic, leaving employees in the dark about performance expectations. Moving Goalposts – Targets and expectations shift constantly, making it hard to succeed or feel accomplished. Unstable Management Behavior – GMs and AGMs are inconsistent in their leadership—mood swings and unpredictable reactions create a stressful environment. Entrenched, Stubborn Leadership – Some long-tenured managers act entitled and resistant to change, making collaboration frustrating

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
