Pros

You do not work over 50 hours so you have a healthy work/life balance.

Cons

They dangle the opportunity to bonus over your head, but never give you the ability. Instead they will make you push promos the last two weeks of the quarter so they hit their number but you don't hit yours..and also puts you in bad standing with your customers and for your outlook into the next quarter.

Pros

The catering there was pretty nice

Cons

Was told I was being let go and would not give a reason why. My Recruiter called the next day it was because I just didn't show up to work, which was untrue as I was there on time every day.

Pros

Well I'd say that the free water is nice when you really have to quench your thirst. Also, some of the bathrooms are some of the cleanest I've used in Wisconsin! Honestly, most of the people are a joy. Most.

Cons

We can get this out of the way since it's what most people get a job for. Pay. It's a step below "okay". You'll get paid more in other places. People come and go here. It's one thing management don't seem to know how to stop.
