Pros

The only two pros working for this company include their abbility to work around school and the idea they also help associates achieve their GED.

Cons

Where do I begin? Always short staffed. If you want to know what it feels like to lose your dignity and self respect, this is the place for you.

Pros

Amazing place to work, the managers are friendly, they encourage dialogue and help you find solutions to your questions and learning process. Teammates are amazing and the work environment is friendly and welcoming.

Cons

Just don't try to grow or get a full time, oddly enough, they have a lot of spots for part timers but not a single opening for people searching for a Full time. They will try to find any possible reason to justify the lack of interest in encouraging growth or lack of "opening positions" for people giving their best at the job even if you already have one year or more with them. They will try to justify their "decision" with any possible minor reason (tardiness, if you got points for being sick, etc) to avoid giving you the opportunity or a clear answer in why they "don't have any opening yet" but they keep hiring part timers every month and yet expect the existing employees to do the 40 hours of a full timer without being a proper full timer position.
