Pros

Nothing beyond any other company to highlight.

Cons

No opportunities for career growth, false advertisement of free education, and spending years with the company does not have any benefit in any way. Edit: I have reached out to management and HR and the request to cover school fees has been denied each time. It is ridiculous to fight a company that brags about billions of dollars in revenue to pay for a program that was advertised as no cost and the company told employees to sign up for. Bragging about revenue to employees & doing absolutely nothing to benefit them makes very clear this company does not care for its employees.

Great work life balance, unlimited pto

No real concept of a promotion. All mobility is done through application and interviewing.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
