Pros

Can-do attitude team members, passionate HR employees who love their jobs, and tuition reimbursement program. It's motivating to work here

Cons

Less holidays observed compared to other US companies (we do have floating holidays). I wish we had perks like free lunch or reduced/discounted lunches and breakfasts as the cafe food is pricey

Pros

Not many pros come to mind.

Cons

Poor pay. 3rd shift position. Very physical demanding job. Some shifts can last over 13+ hours. Not much room for advancement for a supervisor role unless a position is available which is very rare.
