Pros
-Starting pay is higher than many other entry level positions.
-Shifts are long, so there is lots of opportunity for hours if you’re looking to make money.
-The benefits are good.
-The company is big, so you can transfer to another office if you move.
Cons
-The official rules are contradictory to the standard operating procedures, so you can get written up or even fired for doing things everyone does.
-Not a lot of training is given, so you have to figure a lot of things out on your own. In the words of another new coworker; “They don’t tell you anything, they just let you do things and then get you in trouble for it later.” People were frequently irritated with me and other new hires for not doing things we didn’t know we were supposed to be doing.
-Weekly schedules are not put out very far in advance, so it is difficult to plan the rest of your life.
-Breaks are not given for drivers and service techs. The company says they give them, but I have never actually seen anyone taking an actual break. One coworker had been there for several years and told me; “They don’t really let us take breaks.”
-Shifts are often long. 14 hours is the norm, which is good for OT but difficult for many other reasons.
-Managers are sometimes decent, but at other times rude and condescending
