Most Toxic Company I’ve ever been a part of.

Regional maintenance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They over pay the managers but it became apparent why.

Cons

They mistreat staff daily in front of everyone. They belittle you and berate you. They infer that if you don’t work long hours when something is broken that your job will be in jeopardy.
