Pros

You will gain transferable skill to apply to a company that values your work ethic

Cons

This company treats you like a machine/property. All they care about is money and do not care how unhappy their employees are. The Managers are awful, especially the new hire manager and the mentor team. You've been warned they will cut you after they have used every ounce of work ethic you've ever had. The training process is terrible, and they do not provide the proper support to do your job. The company as a whole may be reputable but the manager they have over the new hire team is ruthless. The manager told me in a meeting once that "d's get degree." That's exactly how poorly you will be trained and if you are not a self motivated learner you will not succeed at this job. There are some good mentors but mostly they are just looking out for their own paychecks. The people in managerial roles do not care about the employees. This is not a career to pursue if you are looking for job security.

Pros

Numerous career growth opportunities, promotions/shifts based on individual work ethic instead of popularity. Benefits available from day one, good amount of PTO hours.

Cons

They literally have the most ridiculous attendance policy. They don’t give you any sick days or unplanned pto days. If you’re literally dying with the flu & have to call in bc you can’t work and don’t wanna get your coworkers sick, you get an occurrence. That wouldn’t be so bad if occurrences didn’t play a big part in shift schedules & promotions. When a company does not offer any sick days it just rubs you the wrong way and looks like they do not care about their employees well-being. 11:30-8pm shift is the absolute worst! No work-life balance and employees never get to be with their families. Hire more west coasters and/or close at 6pm.

Pros

Great team of peers, within unit and cross functional. Sharing of best practices

Cons

Culture....leadership shifts with minimal or no knowledge of area. Impact to resources from minimal guidance and support due to lack of knowledge and time for management to learn area for effective team growth. Unrealistic overload of assignments and lack of knowledge/guidance creates high stress and less than stellar performance.
