Pros

The career ladder is very good but if your face doesn't fit you've got no chance of climbing it. The salary is good too.

Cons

Can't even begin to explain how bad this company is to work for. I realised I wanted out after my first shift. Don't be fooled by the high salary it's not worth it. They have no respect for anyone, never get full breaks even when working long shifts 10+ hours. My life evolved around work. The area manager was very poor almost using bullying tactics. That's just a few examples.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
