Pros

It's a good idea but can be enhanced

Cons

Bueractatic Alternative to cooking ( BA) ohh that's Blue Apron. Basically all Yahoo, FaceBook and Apple rejects can find work in the managerial positions here. Ghetto place to work. Good luck finding the motivation to stay the course here if your offered a service trade position here. Being an associates (not a spare part Temp worker) for a year is a milestone accomplishment. Good job to keep you from being Just Over Broke Sometimes. Dont make any longtime or major life investments on this place unless you run a few folks right in the bed amid other "favors" to be considered an "Team Associate"

Pros

The only pros would be that you will meet some interesting people. Some good and some bad but you'll learn the difference very quickly. There are also free snacks. Employees are actually nice when you get to know them.

Cons

Management has no clue as to what they are doing, there is so much favoritism and discrimination, it makes me sick. It is clear that they have the wrong people in charge. Management has no idea as to how to run a business, how to engage employees, or anything people or operational related. They lie to you initially. I should have avoided this company and listened to the bad reviews before hand. When it comes to W-2's, paychecks and anything involving your money, watch out because the corporate HQ always messes up your pay, benefits and taxes. But HQ has much a much more relaxed environment... they sit behind the scenes because they don't deal with the facility employees directly. Must be nice to be able to hide in your lavish offices while others suffer.
