Pros

Works if you’re smug and equally as ignorant

Cons

There’s no time clock, so let the wage theft commence. Tells employees they can’t pay them better, yet tracks their hours with a paper schedule and dated software that might as well be an abacus. Only one HR department for over 3500 employees so good luck if you have a legitimate grievance (and you will). Company “encourages thinkers,” which is a small nugget of truth, except the company encourages them to leave, so chalk that one up in the BS file (overflowing). Environmental hypocrites, installed a POS system that generates a paper receipt for each time the drawer opens, even if there’s no transaction, happens hundreds of times a day, doesn’t offer to email receipt. Tosses way more books than recycles and lies about it.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
