Pros

They offered benefits, but I didn't use them so I can't say how good they were.

Cons

They didn't offer enough hours and it took a long time to complete all of the training that was necessary in order for me to be able to complete all of the job tasks (beyond the basic, initial training). Also, I tried doing their tuition reimbursement program and all they offered was to pay up to $5,000 of my tuition, but I was making such low income that my tuition was covered by federal grant money. The program doesn't cover any loans or books or anything, so don't go into it thinking you will get reimbursed for anything other than tuition you can prove you paid out of pocket.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
