Worst job I've ever had

Pros

maybe the occasional free lunches after being disrespected and bullied by management.

Cons

This company is toxic. They break all labor laws! Trust the bad review. Any good ones are from management and HR. They are supposed to be unbiased and the owner and most of management push their extreme religion and political beliefs on to the employees. They are racist, agiest and if you are not an extreme white christian watch out. They do have a few tolken people to meet law requirements. They will eventually find a reason to fire them. Unless you are desperate for a job look else where!
