Pros

Part of a big movement. Company strives to make the work fun and challenging. Good outlook for the future. The benefits are good. If you plan on staying in the company for four years. You will get some share of the stock. Great job for when you are attending college. If you are soon to be college grad or is a college grad, highly not recommended.

Cons

Employee have a negative outlook on the internal structure. There is no review or outlook on career development from the manager. No outlook on moving up as there are other tenure who have not moved up. Some employee gets stuck on low hourly pay and doesn’t get raise despite the fact that new hires employee gets payed more than the tenure employee. Manager only cares about the number. Says they car about employee but the action says “no”. Does not care about employees input on operations.
