Great company for college grads

Pros

They have a really competitive pay especially if you are in Memphis where the cost of living is so low. Raises every year. Managers who want to see you grow with the company. Memphis is a great city for new grads and the campus is a nice place to work.

Cons

Very old school. Not much vacation early on and you really have to earn your seat at the table. I think this is causing young talent to run fast. But if you sit and wait your turn it can pay off.

Pros

They have good benefits and every quarter, they have a production meeting. Offer good food, and raffles for some pretty good prizes. People get recognition.

Cons

Ah, where to start... They have the pay scale posted in the break room. They have new hire pay, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. After Working by myself on second shift, I have a great review. I asked my supervisor if I would be getting a raise and was told, "I don't see why not". After waiting a few weeks, I was told "no, they want to see more." I asked what I need to do to receive a raise, again it was "more". They could not give me any detail. I asked what area I need to improve and again I was told that they want to see more. They did not say that anything was wrong, they just wanted to see if I would keep up with what I had been doing. Same thing happened on my 12 month review. When I asked why I wouldn't make more than starting pay for being there for 12 months, I was told that there were people there for 10 years still making starting pay! I asked them why they had the raises put on a calendar system and I was told that they had to put something down! I left them with only a 2 day notice. Do you self a favor and don't work there.
