Pros

The only reason I stay there is for the pay. I can't go anywhere else and make what I do there, but I've been employed there for 12 years.

Cons

I don't have enough room in this box to fit all of the cons. The company and management treat the staff horribly. We get lied to for promotions, raises, and paid time off. The majority of the time we are treated as if we are imcompetent and very replaceable. The worst part is the workload. They want you to become three people when you walk in the door, yet there is never sufficient hours or staff. I would tell anyone not to work here.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
