Pros

Really wonderful people work here, but poor management.

Cons

Negative environment, no support from upper management, poor communication. Poor scheduling with lots of turn around shifts. Time off requests almost exclusively denied without reason, watch your time card closely. No sick pay, no PTO in first year, vacation dates unavailable, lots of black out dates. Embarrassing level of under-staffing. Insurance offered, but difficult to use due to day off requests not being honored.
