Pros

People There is a strong committment to doing the right thing for the customer. Very positive vibe for new technology Challenging and interesting industry

Cons

Salaries....national pay grade is same for high cost areas of Eastern US and Mid West urban as in mid south. No visibility to how salary range is determined geographically. Hush hush attitude in regard to salary. Very hard to move up in company if not located in Memphis. Difficult to obtain training outside of Memphis, it's all online and not very good

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
