Pros

Promotion from within and solid benefits for working part time or full time. Any one can be promoted as high as Director or above if they have the right attitude and don't mind moving around the country. A degree is still not required to be promoted to Operations Manager, that opens the door far and wide to most anyone.

Cons

Bad senior managers can't move to escape being possibly terminated so they are stuck at current stations to make life terrible for operators and hourly employees. Sometimes Directors are brought in just to fill a quota and are not qualified to lead a district. The district fails because of quotas and not having stringent guidelines for promotion to Director level.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
