Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

I liked the job but they are pretty serious about safety which is understandable. Somewhere along the track they started going off the rail though and it became a thing to tell on everybody for anything. Like the training that they send you to basically if someone else does something they're not supposed to and you don't snitch on them... then you get in more trouble then the person that did the wrong thing did. It's seriously encouraged. I never did anything to get into trouble but being around that is toxic and I don't personally like to be around people like that and a major reason that I quit working for them. I personally don't want to be looking over my shoulder and worrying about whether I will have a job in a week because of something somebody said. I get not doing things that will get you in trouble and all of that but my concern is that it could be something I believe that I am doing correctly or been trained to do that way and then getting into trouble for it and then stuck in the situation of having to tell on the person that taught me to do it that way and possibly getting them into trouble or fired. I don't like the scene there but maybe you're snitching type and love to get people fired and how you plan to climb the ladder,,, then it's perfect for that kind of personality. I only worked there for roughly 6 months and I couldn't see myself progressing the ladder like that and I left. Probably not all of the facilities are like that but like I said it's even encouraged at the training facility and those are the high ups telling you to do it. I saw one person get sent home and most likely fired for a fight that he wasn't even involved in, just because he saw the fight and didn't report it and because he was caught on camera sitting within 10 feet of it happening.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
