Pros

Most of the employees were friendly but a couple of them seemed to turn up their nose to the seasonal help. They are big on customer service and are usually allowed to make the customer happy.

Cons

the hours were long and I ended up being the go-to person if somebody was a no-show or could not make it to work,having to deal with rude people during the holiday season.

Pros

Insurance benefits, pto, sick days

Cons

Micromanagement and favoritism made it difficult to enjoy work. Environment felt tense rather than encouraging. I often felt like I was being watched and criticized. Company claims “work-life balance” but scheduling was frustrating and employees had little over their schedules. They would often adjust or change your schedule without your permission. Management picks and chooses who they want to help and if they dislike you, they will make work unbearable and not let you grow. Every attendance issue was heavily scrutinized and made me feel like I was one mistake from getting in trouble. Management does not care about its employees and you are just a number to them. Productivity and metrics mattered more than employees wellbeing.
