Pros
  • Relatively fixed schedule
  • Good insurance
  • Safe area
Cons
  • Poor hiring process. A lot of the people they would end up hiring are some of the most self-centered people you will come across.
  • No value system in the department; just easily skewed numbers and gossip.
  • Many of the managers are dishonest and have no issue saying whatever they think the other person they are having a conversation with wants to hear.
  • Lack of short or long-term growth.
  • One to two managers at most would be working while the rest of the staff ran full staff unnecessarily on holidays. Some holidays, like the Fourth of July, they would buy pizza after realizing we would run out of work after an hour.
  • Poor planning was the norm.
  • Most people are afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation, which often made for a volatile work environment.
Advice to Management
  • Ask questions, and the right questions.
  • Make yourselves available in some capacity outside of required meetings.
  • Don't take your employees for granted.
