Pros
The reason for the extra hours this coming week followed by the recent lay off is not because of a shortness of staff. Its because the volume of work was lower and retained employees had to go with no work for portions of two days. The extra hours coming up are not overtime hours but an attempt to provide additional hours to the employees who lost hours do to low work volumes. Over time and weekends are not on the horizon and have not been in place for numerous months. People need to wake up and understand the company is fighting for us as employees every day. I think its an outstanding place to work and only have been here 6 months!
Cons
Don't allow the few negative people overshadow all the good going on. We should feel very lucky to have the opportunities we have and the few people who are negative bring the rest down.
