Pros

Met a lot of interesting people, one can work on their own without having someone breathing down their back constantly. The break room is also quite nice, has a pool table and sofas/loveseats as well as typical tables and chairs, there is also computers so employees can get online during breaks/lunches.

Cons

Very dirty place to work in. There are nests of black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders in the warehouse. It is cold in the winter and hot in the summer (no a/c). The management treats people like they are slaves and their opinions don't matter. A mandatory 50 hr work week at the pay rate of $9.00 an hour and raises are very stingy (being maybe .03 cents to .05 cents). The management also uses intimidation tactics to make people sign their names to new policies that they want to enforce. The building is also falling apart, the roof constantly leaks, there is insulation falling out of walls and ceiling all over the place, holes in the cement floor in the warehouse and some blackish looking mold creeping up the side of the north end of the building. And there are only 6 bathroom facilities, of the 6, only two (a men's and women's) are multiple stalls, the other four (men's and women's) are single toilet located in the front office. The toilets are loose off the ground, not screwed down, so they wiggle. Ceo came to visit once, never did see him talk to anyone except those in the office.
