Pros

Met a lot of great, hardworking people

Cons

Just about everything! I've never seen such a hostile work environment in my life. I could write so much about this company and the operational decisions they make that it's just not worth my time. Management is very quick to bark orders at good people and treat them absolutely horribly

Pros

Bonus, but it had gotten worse every year. We were told to quit calling it bonus and start calling it “incentive”. This was when they kept purposely changing the way it was based each year. The “incentive” was the only thing that made up for the lower than standard pay for like jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Very unfair HR practices. Not all positions are posted and they tend to give the high level jobs to their friends. I really cannot see how this is even acceptable under EOE laws. Not all positions that were open were put in their KnowMe job posting system. You just sort of find out that there is a new director or manager in open positions. Also, very poor decision making at the top leadership level. Always putting the cart before the horse. Losing customers by rolling out things like click list and not having the infrastructure to truly handle it without impacting the customer. 401K funds are changed out when they start performing well and you are forced to put money in those funds into the new cheaper ones they create or whatever they have available. Incredibly antiquated computer infrastructure with way too many systems that do not talk to each other.

Pros

Fast paced envirornment, physically active job, your department becomes like family, decent pay

Cons

Corporate set unreasonable standards which made at times a very tense envirornment. Hours were sometimes unreasonable, only getting 8 hours off between shifts sometimes doesn't give you time to get a full nights rest.
