Pros

Only pro of working for this company is the employee discount.

Cons

All of management doesn’t care about the safety of its employees. The hire yes men who bow to every wish and demand of their superiors without looking up what the SOP says itself. they hire employees that don’t work and wont remove them or write them up accordingly. Lord forbid we try to honor our troops, nearly forced to take down decorations honoring veterans because “it’s not authorized”
