Pros

The pay was ok. But could be better.

Cons

Supervisor are crooked. And. Would say whatever to devalue you a as person and as an employee. Had experience with a manager that lied and said that I ineligible for rehire Because I didn’t put a two weeks notice in which I did and I left good standings from what I was told. When I tried to get rehired back, I was told this was put on my file and I felt very That a manager that is from upper management would say that I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone
