Pros

Wonderful people, very friendly and fun environment, discounts on fun kitchen/restaurant items, good hours and lots of employee recognition. I generally had fun while I worked here. Good training for people who haven't working in a customer service, office or professional environment. Decent pay while I worked there. Generally given freedom if you're performing well. Lots of teamwork and encouraged to work as a team and make sure no one is left behind - Generally great values/morals.

Cons

Tedious work (data entry from email, faxes and phone calls), DOS based order system (back in ~2016, hopefully got an upgrade! If not, they really should!), working with deadlines and (sometimes) grumpy company reps, pretty tough metrics based on accuracy (for some) and no real growth opportunities. Oh, also parking along the wall ( they didn't have an employee parking lot and we all had to parallel at the back of the building) but even that was a very fair system. I 100% understand hiring through a temp agency, but waiting 3 months to be hired and then 3 months for insurance was tough.

Pros

Overall a nice place to work - relaxed & casual office setting and they care about their employees. Very accommodating. Company covers the cost of benefits.

Cons

Upper management can be a bit chaotic. Communication tends to lack and projects sometimes result in a scramble. Some of the senior team tends to dump things on people below them when it would be more efficient for them to deal with it themselves. There also isn't much potential for growth. Pay is mediocre and potential for raises is just not an option. PTO policy isn't ideal and it takes quite a while to accrue more. Minimal culture - people typically keep to themselves
