Good experience while working, however, there were management issues when I left
Pros
Generally co-workers were upbeat and positive. Probably as a whole, genuinely the sincerest and friendliest co workers and environment I have ever worked in. varied schedule, I loved working independently and part of a team. Probably one of the most enjoyable positions I have ever had.
Cons
Promised a raise that never came. Upon initial hiring, I worked 40 hours per week and was told I was full time. Thanksgiving arrived and I had worked 6 months, I didn't receive holiday pay. When I asked why, management informed me that I was only a part time employee although I had worked 36 plus hours for 6 months. Finally, after several management meetings, management considered me full time. However, they only considered 3 of 6 months full time. By doing this they didn't have to pay holiday pay for Thanksgiving, Christmas and new years even though I had been working full time hours for over 6 months and morally deserved it. Also by doing this yearly I would have had to wait for a paid vacation until fall instead of spring when it was supposed to occur. Lastly, I gave two weeks notice but had to leave after one week due to my father's ill health and left numerous messages with my manager who failed to return my calls and implied that because I left early due to my father's sudden illness, he wouldn't give me a recommendation letter. I never missed a day, I never was late and if he needed me to work security or in housekeeping I was always willing, although my job was maintenance engineer.
