Pros

Promises that were later broken - a real disappointment. When the class complained we only got a HR guy come to tell us how important it was for their stock price to remain high.

Cons

Told start at $19 an hour - then told $10 and would have to pay Union $150 a month even on extra board-even if not working - told had to sign papers- they may dead head (no pay) up to 200 hours a month.. so if I was extra that would be possibly more free work than paid work, and I would be paying a Union $150 a month for this garbage.

Pros

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Cons

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
