Pros

Ability to advance is there.

Cons

Commonly interview for locations close to home and upon background check and hire, the company makes a habit to put you in a different location further and less convenient. Was hired for one position and put into the system as a much lesser position without explanation for two months. This bait and switch tactic happened with numerous other hires. Was not paid accurately for overtime worked. Was not given access to system to verify hours worked for two months. Worked at several locations and at each people were forced to work off of the clock by management due to under-staffing or direct instruction. Hostile work atmosphere and discrimination were allowed for over a decade at one location as were several wrongful terminations that culminated in at least one very successful large lawsuit -- yet manager was kept in place. Favoritism. You will be lied to about spiff, bonus and overtime structure and pay during interview -- in my experience I was being paid 2k less than what I was told to expect per month. H.R. intentionally avoided complaints and didn't resolve matters. Several people made reports and H.R. didn't even speak with these employees before closing the complaint and said employees were wrongfully terminated shortly after. Retaliation both at corporate and store level for reporting any illegal or inappropriate workplace conduct. Extremely litigious environment.

Pros

Good pay for the location. Established business in the area (over 50 years running), probably not going anywhere for a while. As long as you show up, do your work, and don't violate safety rules, you have job security. Rotating schedule allows for a lot of time off (unless you're drafted).

Cons

The environment can be very uncomfortable in some areas due to lack of climate controls. Constant back and forth between "the way it's always been done" and "let's try something new." Rotating schedule can be harsh. Sometimes it's hard to know who is in charge of something, as people get moved around a lot. Draft can eat into your time off, especially if your area is shorthanded. Communication from corporate seems to hit a wall before it reaches the technicians and operators; changes planned for years will seem abrupt to the people on the floor.
