Pros

The mission of the company

Cons

You know what time you clock in but your clock out time is unpredictable. They overwork employees. You have to get items from warehouse, load on ProMaster Van, drive hours away from home, unload a lot of items, QC, work health history, do Venipuncture, pack up, drive hours back home, and unload vehicles. They do not accept a doctor’s excuse if you get sick.
