Pros

Could walk to work, most managers can go home early on fridays,not expected to work nights or weekends,really easy to spend all day doing nothing if you want to

Cons

Complete lack of communication,respect and support from management,staff are not valued,local culture of talking at you not to you,pay is poor even by industry standards, Own policies and procedures are ignored,doesnt appear to have any real desire to improve standards and performance,only interested in profit at any cost and dont value the customer sufficiently.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
