Pros

Great online resources, tools and networking for employees

Cons

Much of the positive culture of work-life balance and "a promise of respect and fair treatment" does NOT translate down to the front line accounts. Lots of talk and training, little done to hold leadership and mid-level management to practice what they preach. The lack of this connectivity results in poor management of staff and even worse service to customers.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
