Pros

Paid regularly and on time

Cons

Often 10 hr days working solo, not able to take a break at all, paid for 8, no overtime allowed. Paperwork just for the sake of paperwork, endless "box ticking", checklists, then checklists to check you've checked the checklists! Managers have very little autonomy within their own centres. Even mundane things like uniform ordering, staff holidays &stationery/refreshment ordering cannot be done with higher approval Taking your one hour lunchbreak (only if staffing levels permit) is very much frowned upon. Training is pretty much non existant except for endless online "training" about worldwide legal requirements (money laundering etc), but training to help with day to day subjects like how to use the computer systems.....non existant. "Theres the keys, theres your uniform.....get on with it." Bi-annual Bonus, if earned, is forfeited if you were to leave before its paid out, which is usually 3 months after the period in which you earned it.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
