Pros

Each day is something different. You can never get bored. High paced atmosphere where there is never a lack of new projects to work on. .

Cons

Lack of training in all areas of the company. The morale is very low due to the high turn-over. They do not provide an atmosphere where good employees want to stay.

Pros

Free lunch and discounts and my coworkers are friendly, diversity

Cons

They work you to death for little pay, went from 2 shifts to 3 shifts and we still do mandatory overtime everyday, management is rude, disrespectful, and sarcastic. They don't encourage you. Worked on Thanksgiving day, there was no holiday pay I made 8.50/hr. And then was sent home 4 hrs early because they needed to cut hrs.... Under staffed.... i can't wait to find better employment!! I am young and would not want to stay long term. And the benefits are unaffordable for what you get paid. Almost like a sweat shop but even they get chairs.
