Pros

See cool stuff, famous celebs, and guitars. Many different directions to advance to if you know the right people.

Cons

Second shift gets the short end and little to no recognition compared to 1st shift. Most management was sleeping around with eachother or new hires. Outside management hirees were ill-equipped and knew nothing about the industry. Constant backstabbing from other employees in order to keep you looking worse than them. Principal Master Builder for Custom Shop was secretly pushed out for sexual misconduct, Unfortunately, corporate is located in AZ and has no idea what was going on. Saturdays are “mandatory” and holidays only put you behind so you have to come in the following weekend to make up the time. If you refused overtime you paid for it… There is a cool kids club that if you make it into you are golden. Otherwise, good luck.

Cons

- poor leadership; truly, IDK where they get these leaders from - you wont get any help, expect to be thrown in the deep end - frontline workers complain a lot, makes it hard to implement things
