Pros

The only pro of working here is working here during the holidays when the pay is about $30/ hour.

Cons

Mismanaged-most of the managers are in their 20’s and have no idea what they’re doing. Area managers are unapproachable and walk around with god complexes. Bad communication- since no one knows what they’re doing, communicating rules of how to take time off etc is incorrectly given and then they write you up. They make it extremely difficult to get a hold of them. I’ve called the HR office 15 times in one day, and left 5 voicemails and have yet to get a call back. If you can’t make it into work, they give you a number to call, but no one ever answers the phone. They tell you, “if you’re going to miss work, just call the line.” But then you get penalized for not showing up. Even if you speak to a live person, that person won’t take down your name or pass along the message to anyone. I was encouraged to use my PTO for times I couldn’t make it into work. When I did request PTO and got it approved I was written up, saying that “I still missed my shift.” They treat their employees terribly and only see you as body to get work done. When people started to quit, and we were short people, they still expected you to get the workload done. It takes about 10 people to run the department I worked in and when we were down to 5 they still expected you to get it done and then pushed a deadline. We were doing several jobs busting our butts and we got zero recognition.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
