Pros

Great benefits, others don't compare. You gain extensive knowledge on how to run your business. Lots of paid time off.

Cons

They say their vision is to create a better life for the many. They force their managers to work way too many hours. It is like you are married to IKEA and your family comes second. Yes, you get lots of vacation, but you are always bothered on your vacation. There is no real work life balance. They suck the life out of you and then spit on you when they are done. Not worth the pay or benefits.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
