Pros

The benefits are awesome. Health insurance premiums have become very expensive and Blackhawk offers low monthly premiums for a PPO plan that covers the entire family. Considering you could be paying $1000 or more a month at smaller companies, this is a huge benefit to consider when reviewing your overall salary.

Cons

Misclassifying employees as exempt when they are not exempt by California labor laws. Unprofessional and unethical managerial behavior that is swept under the rug by other managers and HR. Discriminatory treatment by managers after returning from medical leave.

Good management, bonus opportunities, training

Cons

The pay is low. Staffing isn’t enough to meet workload, no performance based raises for entry level employees, and very few promotions available
