Worst Nightmare - Do not dare to join the madness

Pros

Few individuals are good to work with. Industry has very good potential

Cons

Everything Benefits suck Worst Sr. Management (no one does the walk the talk), they say something and do exactly the opposite, preaches lot of stuff and they never follow what they preach Culture is worst: every senior leader uses bad language and do not have respect for others. If they use filthy language, storm out of the meetings it is all fine. However, if someone else stand up to what they believe in and for the success of the company then they become hostile and will be shown the door. Ridiculous politics for such a small size company. Licking Up, Be a Yes Man & Backstabbing are the main skill sets you need to survive in this company and those are the people who flourish there They squeeze blood out of you to get things done at the speed of light Do not have a strong vision or own identity other than copy/ pasting ideas from other companies it is not just March Madness - It is all the time madness

Pros

ok benefits, cookouts, working outdoors, friends with cowarkers, short shifts because they don't know how to schedule people

Cons

Terrible senior leadership. None wants to take responsibility and continue to turn the other way when there are problems with the staff. The drivers come and go all the time and the management in the transportation department belittle you and make you feel like your worthless. Al is one of the most unprofessional and racist managers you'll want to work for. When you report him, nothing happens because they think we employees are telling lies. They aren't the ones in the heat and cold day after day working for a 12 an hour trying to feed their families. No real pay here - they pay you bare minimum while other places start at 15. They tell you they care but when I was interviewed I interviewed with 20 other people and they only picked 2 but they needed 10. The managers laughed at one guy behind his back and called him a queer

Pros

Well known brand. Discounted groceries. That’s about it.

Cons

The Turkish owner and his sons run the place and nobody can question them. Employees are constantly afraid for their jobs. Priorities shift depending on the mood of the owner.
