Pros

Decent pay for the work we do. Co-workers are great. Health insurance is pretty good. Dental and vision care are also good. Nice cafeteria area.

Cons

There are extensive rules for everything. The management treats the employees like kids. Any chance they get, they will cheat you out of paying for things. For example, will ask employees to leave early before a holiday, but won't pay holiday pay. Vacation accruement is poor. Point system for attendance is extremely rigid. Corporate in CA makes most decisions, so the communication is poor (because we are in KC). Black out period during peak season (winter), which means no one can request time off.

Pros

Most coworkers, including management are fun to work with. Employee discount is great. Work from home.

Cons

Extremely outdated systems. Stingy PTO. Work almost every holiday but Christmas. Laying off qualified employees immediately after unrolling new AI programs. Management roles are attainable, but there are virtually zero opportunities to grow above lower management. Many managers have been stuck in the same role for over 10 years.
