Pros

Ability to work from home/flexible schedule if you are in an office job.

Cons

Very “top-down” approach: associate-level employees don’t matter and are forced to work long hours with substandard pay. It doesn’t matter whether you are in an office job or a sited role, they don’t care about you. As someone mentioned in an earlier review, you are there to make them money. There are few if any opportunities for advancement. The only way to advance is to leave the position. Management makes decisions without consulting their employees or seeking their feedback. There is a high turnover rate so be prepared to be saddled with more work than you are able to cope with. A lot of your happiness depends on office politics and your ability to make friends with the right people in management. Management definitely plays favourites.

Pros

At the time, I was working overnight at a condominium, and the quiet environment gave me the opportunity to focus on my schoolwork since there was very little activity throughout the building. The team I worked with was incredible, they made me feel like I was part of a family, which made the job even more enjoyable and rewarding.

Cons

Working the graveyard shift can significantly affect a person's sleep schedule and overall sleep quality.

Pros

They take good care of the office people

Cons

Field workers are second hand citizens. Nepotism by language. Promote people that don't have the skill sets to do the job. The people that have the common sense to be leadership at this point don't want the responsibility anymore. What does that say?
