Pros

None, anymore well, besides schedule flexibility.

Cons

I think the fact that we have to clock out in order to use the restroom of get a cup of water is not only insane but it is demeaning. Everyone that is employed here are all of legal age, whether it be 18 or 40+ so the reason we are being monitored as if we are a criminal under house arrest with an ankle monitor is beyond me. It is so difficult because most people here need this job to be able to live and support their families; I feel the company whether it be HR, management or whomever take advantage of this and use it as an opportunity to crack the whip so to speak. I understand if someone breaks the rules (using a cell phone excessively, being rude and inappropriate...) however, to tell employees that they have to clock out to use the restroom, they can't stand up, they can't speak, they aren't allowed to take any days off in April so on and so forth is utterly appalling and all together juvenile. Almost everyone that I ever speak with in this company are looking for another job because this place is so condescending to us as adults. Be a little less like Malcolm X and a lot more like Martin Luther King Jr.

Employees are not "clocking out" in order to use the restroom or get a drink of water. They are simply recording that they are away from their desk, so that no calls get forwarded to you if you are not available. Nobody takes advantage of the fact that an employee needs their job. We understand that everybody depends on their job in order to support their families, however that has nothing to do with ensuring that company guidelines and policies and procedures are being followed. The only reason an employee cannot request time off in April would be because the volume in their department will be increasing and we will need all hands on deck.

In the event that you feel that you have a lack of growth, please speak with your manager or human resources. We would like all employees to feel as if they are a valuable member of the team. We are always hoping to expand the knowledge of our employees.

Pros

*Room for Advancement *Employee Incentives such spin the wheel where you can win extra lunch time and gift cards, pizza the last Wednesday of each month, bagels every Friday, massages every few months *PTO *Benefits such as medical, dental and vision *401K which the company matches *The starting pay rate is much better than working at the grocery store or some store at the mall *Volunteer opportunities throughout the community such as stuff the bus, donating to the food-bank and working with United Way *There's a lot you can learn about Property Preservation

Cons

*It's a shame that people that actually like their job can't write an honest review because they are accused of being forced by Shari to write the review. *Employees that keep complaining about the "atrocious" medical benefits that the company offers. Clearly they aren't paying attention to what's covered or how much they actually pay for the benefits. The amount that we pay on a monthly basis is around $200. I've gone to the doctor plenty of times with my medical insurance and have never had to pay a $50 co-pay unless I've gone to a specialist or the walk-in doctor. My co-pay's have always been $30. Maybe the employees who've paid more than that are going to doctor's that are not covered by the plan or going to doctors that are considered specialists *The negativity of some of the employees
