Pros

Decent benefits, scholarship program for employees children entering trade schools, a good discount program through Ticketsatwork

Cons

If they want to get rid of you, they will either A. Hire someone to work under you, give them a new title and eliminate your position or B Destroy your self esteem with horrible reviews that no matter what you say, or how hard you work, will never get better, then put you on a "performance plan" that is basically 99% chance of them having "justifiable cause for termination". Theft runs rampant and they refused to install cameras because if they did, it would show they didn't"trust" their employees. Its a dog eat dog environment. Don't trust anyone, especially in HR.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
