Pros

This place will put you through hell. If you can survive your time here, you can handle pretty much anything.

Cons

This company is such a mess. It's run by homogeneous narcissists who would rather run the business into the ground than admit that they made a bad decision. The internal squabbling is out of control and paralyzes attempts to get the customers what they need in a timely manner. There is no training, and you're left hoping desperately that anyone new that comes in will be able to adapt quickly, because otherwise you'll be doing their work and yours until they inevitably get tired of the culture and quit. To make matters worse, the pay and benefits are horrible and in no way make up for the hell they put you through. There are also safety issues (both physical and emotional) and an incredible amount of nepotism (in fact, this company is a perfect example of why nepotism is so very bad for business).

Pros

They work with you on flexibility

Cons

You only get promoted if you run with the "in" crowd. Management is extremely biased and gossips to their favorite employees about confidential information of other employees. Horrible pay. They have "town hall" meetings telling you how they are raking in millions of dollars per month but never give more than a 1 or 2% raise. The HR dept consists of the most UNFRIENDLY people you will ever meet and they are not helpful in any way. You are always told to call their insurance company with questions because the insurance girl doesn't know squat. Building is disgusting and way outdated, but if you like working with roaches and centipedes then by all means. Their health insurance is horrible. Turnover is so bad because people don't listen to these reviews and apply elsewhere, then get in there and realize how awful it is. They don't train worth crap. Nothing is standardized or structured. The old CEO Rodney really did care for people, but his son Brad only cares about money and himself and has really run the company - especially the morale - into the ground. People really used to enjoy working there, but not anymore. Everyone constantly complains and it's a depressing and stressful place to work. Definitely NOT worth it for the little money they give you. But the Wasserstrom's will roll into work (if they even show up) in their nice Lexus cars and SUVs. The people who have left and found new jobs (including me) are way happier that we left.

Pros

Not sure that I can think of a single pro. Other than, If you enjoy being a jerk at work this is the place for you cause you can definitely get away with it!

Cons

Everything. Management is a total joke! One told her employee, "I cant F with you today!" Loud enough for everyone to hear. You get ZERO credit for your accomplishments, in fact your boss will more than likely take credit for your work and will pass the buck to an already overworked employee to train you, which means, you will never get any training. Tons of favoritism. Everyone will try to sabotage you if ANYTHING goes wrong, so keep record of ALL communication. My manager actually encouraged confrontation. Pay is weak and Insurance is a joke! They set you up to fail.
