Pros

You get to work with books and have 50% off most things.

Cons

Too many. They started hiring outside the company for management. They no longer train people correctly and overwork you like a dog. The amount of time something messed up has happened and HR does an “investigation” without speaking to anyone involved is alarming. They do anything to protect management or cover up accidents then gaslight you for mentioning anything.

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
