Pros

Zero, no amount of money makes this place acceptable

Cons

Please read all the Cons in all the Reviews on Glassdoor for this company they are 100% accurate. This place will MICROMANAGE the life right out of you, please don't do that to yourself. This place has half the employees they need, and it amazes me they are able to keep that many employees. I had a Supervisor follow me around for over three hours, making SNIDE comments, basically acting like a CHILD. I parked the Forklift and QUIT, nobody and I mean NOBODY should have to work under conditions like that, but it answered my question as to Why the place didn't have enough employees. The equipment here is outdated and damaged, that's if your actually able to get one of the very few Forklifts in the place.
