Pros

The facility has more amenities this year that ever before! So they create an outlet for you - which is definitely needed at this company!

Cons

Please be careful! The culture seems laid-back; but management is a group of friends that will ruin your life! The rules here are not standardized, each manager can recreate operating rules (ex: standardized lunches, extended breaks for others, favoritism and more). So again, be careful! This company will try to fire you, even if a top performer, if they don't like you! And go a step further to deny and fight against you gaining benefits. These are the people/companies to stay away from!
