Pros

They try their best to understand you and your situation (on and off the work site) to better you as an employee.

Fast-paced for the front end: you stay on your feet.

There is plenty to do, always.

Pays well.

Cons

Being expected to learn things within a few times of them being said and/or taught.

As I said, this is a fast-paced business. So, if you can't get with the fact that it may seem like a quality and then quantity-based business, it's not, at all. That is simply misplaced words.

They need you to learn a lot within a 90-day limit. If you don't learn quickly enough, you're cut. If you do not focus well enough, you're cut. If you do not have the drive, you are cut. You will become and remain in pain constantly if you don't think mind over matter.

Advice to Management

It should not be a race to see what can be learned in the shortest amount of time, or you're fired. Like what was mentioned in the review, a business should be based on quality, not quantity (in some aspects). This being said, make sure, as an employer or someone training your new staff, that you teach them in a way they can understand. That way, they can retain the information. Everyone learns a bit differently.
