Pros

They can't legally force you not to quit:)

Cons

-They make ALL employees punch-in/punch-out, including bathroom breaks. Yes you heard that right, there is a gate to the bathroom that is activated by you punching out (depending on what office you are in). -The teams are divided into two camps 1) employees with a severe case of stockholm syndrome and 2) those planning their escape. -Turnover is so high that maintaining software is difficult due to the code-base being unusually fragmented and under-architected. -Pay and benefits are unusually terrible. At the end of the day, a job is a job and if you need some experience you may be forced to work here. I would only recommend working here for the minimum amount of experience needed to go somewhere else.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
