Pros

Everyone here is great to work with. Its a fun environment and pretty laid back. I work at the home office. They are currently building a new building.

Cons

It's a non-profit so pay isn't great. The insurance is killing me. I can't afford it. The plan had an extremely high deductible. People can be whiny and compassion about stupidest things. Repetitive work.

Pros

The coworkers are good people, however there are some workers watching other workers and giving reports apparently. Hours can be flexible.

Cons

Constant turnover of staff, maybe 50% turnover. A temp service has been put into use because of lack of employees, they are there a day or two ,then there is new temps. Many rules: only clear plastic bottles can be used and only water can be in them. No music is allowed at all: no mp3,phone or anything. SDA donation area is very busy and understaffed. I was given a pre evaluation for my 3 month and told I had 2-3 weeks to improve(be more organized) and 2 hours later told I was"suspended indefinitely and my manager said I would not be recommended to be rehired. What happened to the 2-3 weeks?? I am a mature worker ( 55 plus) with a good work ethic and I have never been late. The lunch room has a TV in it that has been broken for 2 years? The price of refreshments is full retail? Where does this profit go? I would not recommend this place to anyone. As well there is no training options to raise your rate of pay.
