Pros

The hours and pay were decent. There were 3 schedules. I worked thur-sunday. I chose to work weekend bc they gave me $4 more per hour on Saturdays and Sundays. weekdays were $18/hr. major holidays off. 4 day work week, so working 4/10

Cons

the major con was the attendance policy. they run on a point system. you get 8 points then write ups, discipline, termination. that was fine, except at the time I had a very small child who was ill often (later diagnosed with illness) so I had to take a lot of time off bc I had no family to help. you only get 2 DR notes for the whole year. and each note only excuses one day, per company policy. I used one for my child. then when I became sick and my dr said I needed to stay home for 5 days, HR told me the not would only excuse 1 of the 5 days, since I had already used one not e for my child. I was told to go BACK to the dr and have them REWRITE the note. the DR was furious. if not, HR would not let me return to work and I had no more time to use to cover the other 4 days. so my DR had to give me a new note saying I could return the next day, just so I wouldn't lose my job. The sick policy is outrageous and I would not return unless I was desperate. if you don't have young children you would be ok here. but when you have kids and no one to help, it was very hard

Pros

Some good people. But not too many. New private equity owners are all about squeezing dollars.

Cons

Pipe dreams sold HR/management doesn’t know how to effectively handle problem employees leading to the departure of several capable associates Lots of old “cliques” in the company that make moving up impossible Nepo baby culture since a lot of associates have or had a parent also working at the company. Those nepo babies seems to get promoted more often then no nepo babies Benefits are terrible
