Age discrimination abounds

Pros

Nice cafeteria for employees in building

Cons

If you think you can work your way into management by putting in long hours and being a good employee, think again. Young lazy twenty-somethings are promoted before long term hard workers. Management rewards gossip. Mid management was racist, misogynistic homophobe and made no secret of it. This is a toxic environment for those who want to be rewarded for being diligent. Low pay. Salaried employees forced to work weekends at times simply because they are salaried. Sickening management cliques exist. This is not a good company to work for.
