Pros

It's a job. For some Weekly pay works well. For me Not so much.

Cons

Favoritism: they keep in a position of a bottom feeder (per say)! They never allow new employees to advance. There is still discrimination against newer Employees. And this hurts or harms the chance to advance. When a newer employee has a legitimate grievance they become marked as a trouble maker and forced to resign before their grievance is reviewed by management. An incoming employee who is qualified for a higher paying position is constantly overlooked for promotion or restricted to lower paying posts or sites indefinitely! Frequently management staff will assign a New employee to a lower paying position Just to save the better position for someone or another employee that they know personally! Lack of professionalism throughout the management staff.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
