Pros

* Decent hourly pay (for now) * Decent time off policy * Some great co-workers * Decent Quarterly Bonus for Hourly workers * Nice Health Insurance options with ways to reduce weekly deductions * Life insurance Policy (bare minimum but has one) * Occasional overtime work

Cons

* With current cost of living crisis. The current hourly wage may not be enough in the next couple of years * Progressive company * Hard to move up in company, more external hiring over internal * Dysfunctional leadership for the building I worked at * Possible gender bias, noticeable increase of women moving up the company * Building I worked at is known for high turnover. Because of it, burnout occurs because of mandatory 6 - 7 (8 hours) day work weeks. * A lot of finger pointing/blaming others when something goes wrong
