Pros

Ive been here 2 years. The only reason I gave this job any stars is because I didnt think a ZERO STAR rating would have been accepted! Some reviewer said that you make 'friends in the workplace.' Couldnt be further from the truth. The backstabbing is relentless. Car, laptop, cell. Great - but all monitored and GPS. Big brother is definitely watching your every move, call email! And do not toss your personal cell and laptop. When you are fired - you lose these items immediately.

Cons

EVERYTHING! Management is unsupportive, biased, and backstabbing. The job is dangerous. REALLY! I have been physically assaulted, verbally abused, dogs were set on me, threatened with a gun and other violent opportunities. I had to involve the police on more than one occasion! The pay? sucks. Bonus? massaged by management so that you get less than you should. Happened every week. Support? I had to constantly state my case above my supervisor and even then, HR was verbally abusive! HR! Management plays favorites and frequently quoted policy that was actually against the written policy. RAIN, Sleet, 100 degrees or 10 degrees. Weekends mandatory. They speak of work life balance. ZERO balance. THE WORST JOB EVER

Toxic work environment, HR way too involved in everything, the company expects us to be robots, document everything every person says at all times. Over working everyone since layoffs
