Pros

Helping efforts to save the earth if you’re big into the environment

Cons

Senior Leadership is very disconnected from middle management and have their own floor on the 4th floor where it is frowned upon to engage in conversation with them.

Pay increases below Cost of living

Pros

Good environment and good people

Cons

Unless you are in a union you are limited on your increase to what is budgeted minus what the union was promised. Office staff usually get 1.5% increase no matter if you go above and beyond or not.

Pros

I cant say I have any Pros for this company

Cons

This is the first time in my life I absolutely hate my job. Integrity is very important to me and this company possesses none. When something is promised or is said to be done they either just dont do it or find a way out of it with no apology or any sort of fix to appease you for the wrongdoing. goals seem unreachable if you are really doing your job. Many get rewarded with the best shifts based on a 3 question survey average from customers but not based on the quality of their work, which mostly seems to be just enough to get off the phone quickly. The point system and pto situation seems to be a trap to get you fired. It doesn't take much to end up in a bad position
