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have a points system), I provide a doctor’s note to get my half-point(half point If you’re late/leave early at work) rescinded, and they tell me it needs to be an emergency to have the half point removed.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?!
