none - do not work here, you're better off at a Starbucks

Cons

-pay you nothing because they take out a large percent of your check -insurance is so crappy that they're response to that is they don't have to use our insurance -vaco managers don't do anything they're just in the middle to "take up money" from your salary/hourly -messed up MANY peoples taxes mine included for 3 years and just said "sorry" despite you telling them every year not to mess them up so you wont pay penalties and large quantities that could have been paid in the year
