Pros

Bringing books to kids (but at a cost). Rarely work a weekend. Benefits. No attendance policy.

Cons

Very physical work, bending, lifting, standing on cement all day for little pay. Upper management doesn't have a real clue and doesn't care. You work to earn vacation only to be told when you can and can not take it. Favoritism is out of control. Management is more concerned with petty who's talking about who than the fairs going out the door. Raises, given once a year, are based on personality, not job performance, or attendance. Someone out of the state who has no clue is making all the decisions. Would rather work a few people to death than hire more full time help. On site managers have their favorites that tend to be lazy, and if you're not one of them there is a target on your back.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
