Pros

I guess working here keeps you off of the streets and does pay slightly more than minimum wage. If you like being treated like scum, this is the place for you!

Cons

No sick leave, no holiday celebrations, no appreciation of the job performance. Persons of tenure have escaped this environment similarly to the fleeing rats on the sinking Titanic.

Pros

Easy interview process. Nice people to work with.

Cons

Low wages. Sub-par benefit structure. Poor management of work schedules. Deceptive offer letters. Second offer letter was considerably less than the initial offer letter. Seems the company bamboozles their candidates to lure them in and waits until the last minute to advise of changes.
