Pros

Excellent training and group of people to work with!

Cons

Training a tough challenge. I made it 4 out of 13 weeks, but I do combat my anxiety disorder. I had to decide to move on to hopefully a less stressful opportunity.

Pros

Pay was great for only having a HS Deploma, mind numbing work, job security.

Cons

unreasonably high benefits; exactly eight hours when you clock out, you are due to clock back in; employee parking was never a priority for the company; you have to start at random places in san antonio, make your own way there, the pay you 10 or 20 mins;
