Pros

The job was amazing at first. Room for advancement. Onsite gym. Large cafeteria and Company Kitchen kiosks. Company holidays. Free lunch during celebrations. Monthly employee recognitions. Healthy Quest program. Nice benefits. Very diverse company. Lockers for our personal belongings. On site security. Cross training available which opens doors for advancement. The managers make sure to communicate with all of the employees about major events.

Cons

Most recently, they’ve started to lay off several of the “higher ups” which as raised some red flags. The company is no longer accepting temps. They’re laying off employees who’ve contributed to the company for 25+ years to help with cutbacks. The starting pay will be low from now on. They are going through a lot of changes involving money and it’s resulting in cutbacks & layoffs. Processors can work up to 3 hours of OT. If you have a family, if you’re a single parent or if you have a social life...you’ll likely spend majority of your time at Quest. This may not be the job for you if you don’t want to be underpaid & work long hours.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
