Pros

Traveling for free has been a pro.

Cons

Management is required to work 50 hours a week on a 40 hours a week salary. Schedules are rotating. You get paid holidays as a salary employee but you will not get them, they will still require you to work it and only get your regular two days off . High high High stress. I mean it is so bad for me, when I sleep I dream and about this place. Upper management will play favorites so often promotions are not based on performance but if you are well liked. You will spend most of your long shift on your feet working in production as a manager, so technically you are really a glorified employee trainer in all areas to reduce overtime. I will be done with this place in a few more weeks and can’t wait for that pressure and stress to just float away when I walk out the door for the last time.

Pros

Competitive pay, easy work, great benefits.

Cons

Unexpected additional tasks specifically for MP’s that were someone’s only job in the past (for 0 additional compensation), toxic leadership (specifically the COM’s as they do not possess the skills to manage people in the way a legitimate manager would-hense why they were only ever supervisors previously) that ended up in the positions they have due to recent restructuring, micromanaging everyone to oblivion, complete and utter disrespect from those unfortunate people in make shift supervisory roles.
