Pros

The job was pretty easy. I clocked in went to work & clocked out. Management was pretty cool. People I worked with were really laid back.

Cons

If anything I guess the pay. It wasn't horrible pay but then again not great pay. Basically a job to get by on, if all else.

Pros

Great people, my training was good from my manager, and there is a ton of opportunity to move up.

Cons

Very difficult to consistently do my job due to short staff and inability to focus on tasks given, it always seemed like they didnt hire to improve, but to cover up the opening.
