Pros

Work indipendently. No boss on you all day. Wont see your boss in person for weeks. Come in, plug in earphones and build.

Cons

This company has several major ongoing unaddressed issues. They have a rediculously high employee turnover for a reason. Pay is iniadequate. Hours expected to work, when there is even work avaialble, are unreasonable. Its not 8hrs a day m-f. Its 2 hours here, 4 there, then they want 12 or more without notice when things get busy. they guilt trip you and insiuate laziness when you cant work a 10hr shift without notice. They have no care for your personal life or outside work obligations. I also had my pay cut without notice. They literlly called me on a friday to tell me i'd be making conisderably less come monday. With this lack of notice i obviously had no other options and had to comply. You only get paid a % per piece built, but are also expected to do hours of administrative/paper work for which there is no pay. management is at times quite rude, within a years time i've had 5 supervisors and all of them treated me like a biological machine whos sole purpose was to generate money for the company. You arent a person to these people. I service an Academy location, and my livlihood is dependant on the store employees having products ready to build when i get there in the morning. This rarely happens. I have to nag them almost every day to get this done(more unpaid time). The store will not drop anything for days then drop a weeks worth and expect it all done that day. When it doesnt get done they complain to your supervisor who is happy to throw you iunder the bus and blame you entirely even though its product that could have been dropped in the days they dropped nothing.

Pros

very easy to plan around the day and get a lot of personal things done as long as you do your assignment

Cons

the managers in the store come at you and question a lot of the companies charges so just be sure you can validate everything
