Pros

The Pay is great but the management is horrible and they don’t care about employees they want you to work your life away.

Cons

They lied about what the job was at first. They want you to forget your personal life and only work. They have no clue what’s going on on the floor and want unrealistic goals. We are constantly understaffed and some upper management will step on you to cover their own butt. Do not work here it’s horrible
