This company is focused on one thing and that is personal sacrifice and does nothing for it's people.

Supervisor

Pros

Free lunch which is not that good either. The food is usually cold and high in carbs which does nothing for people trying to be healthy. They also have the same thing for 3 to 4 days in a row.

Cons

Management does not care, long hours, no caring for the people who work there, do unethical things like falsifying records (personal experience with this). They continually ask for more and more and do not care about what it takes to do it. Nothing is good enough and there is never any praise for what you do right. Working 12 to 15 hour days is a regular thing.

Pros

you got lunch at a discount,and you meet lots of good people from around the globe.

Cons

Management ran the work place like a natzi camp,Management caters to those that they like which was their own kind,from what I saw they try to get rid of the few minorities that work there which wasn't many in the first place,basically if you didn't speak spanish you had a target on your back,thankfully I had a rastafarian friend that understood them and would translate for me,the subliminal racism was undeniable,no room at all for advancement,no raises aside from the 5 cents you received after your 90 day probationary period till after 5 years
