Pros

The employees make you feel so comfortable upon being hired, and everyone is eager to help show you the ropes or role that you are going to start. Communication with HBS is unlike any other location. Hilary and Todd do a great job to us a strong team. The people you meet (social networking) is outstanding. If you wanted or needed to transfer you're welcome and the team is willing to assist you. The pay. The nudge app is an awesome place to gather or see what others are doing. But it’s a fun competition of gathering points too.

Cons

I don’t have any really, other than some days we work extremely long days In a row and they can weigh on you. Union employees and all the rules and policies (but really you can’t control)

Pros

If you work the right contract the holiday schedule is nice. Never ending supply of company branded temu quality merch as gratitude for a job well done.

Cons

Tend to make knee jerk reactions in management. Upper management support is performative. Endless half useful meetings that should be emails given they tout a great work life balance but bog you down in processes that change weekly. Merit increases are measly at best. Required 50 hr work week but it’s frequently 55-60. Vacation and sick time are taken in half day intervals so leaving an hour early results in a half day loss. No real system allowing breaks for lunch. I was told i could sit down for 15 mins at the end of lunch service to eat but that is seldom achievable. HR will throw you under the bus given the first opportunity and will not support you when dealing with problematic employees. Management turnover is extremely high.
