Pros

The company has great Refrigeration systems, for the most part. And when joining the team(2 years ago), the possibilities for growth were really up to the associates’ work ethic.

Cons

Now, work within does t matter. The overall schedule has changed 3 times since I’ve started in 2017. On top of that, there are PLENTY of company policies implemented that are absolutely ridiculous; I.e: My son was sick and had to go to the E.R. I leave work to take him, and upon coming into work(because they have a points system), I provide a doctor’s note to get my half-point(half point If you’re late/leave early at work) rescinded, and they tell me it needs to be an emergency to have the half point removed. I TOOK MY SON TO THE E.R. FOR PROFUSELY VOMITING, AND HE COULD HAVE LOST HIS LIFE FROM DEHYDRATION. WHAT OTHER EMERGENCIES DO I NEED FOR THIS HALF POINT TO GO AWAY?!

Pros

I do not recommend working for this company. I've been working here for three years and I never got recognized for my good work, managers, supervisors, tried to wright me up for nothing, right now I'm suspended for nothing. I was wrongfully accused of taking food that was given to me the proof is on the camera. I even offered to show them the food cause I knew it wasn't the food they where talking about so why am I suspended without pay? I don't think they care about what they do to certain people of course favoritism everyone that gets promoted is a person that lives next door or relative so if you don't no anyone your not progressing unless you kiss but, and them people look forward for you to do that, those who show no fear they don't like look at me for instance I'm suspended for no reason. HaHa. They are clowns in color jackets from my point of view the place looks like a top notch preschool with all the colors ant... LoL.... HAVE A BLESSED 1....

Cons

People with positions that don't know witch way to go or give inproper instructions for you to do and get fired.
