Pros

Pay. They let you do your job. Little micro-managing. Good sales and employee support. Excellent benefits.

Cons

You will advance if you are willing to move and relocate. Your job is as good as your manager. Very HIGH turn-over in middle management. They make business decisions based on bottom lines without regard to employees. Rely a lot on Six Sigma and the latest "cost savings program" and sometimes completely for-go common sense. Company is SLOW to move with modern technology. It's like moving the TITANIC.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
