Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with - they made long shifts filled with rude customers at least somewhat entertaining. There are a couple of shift-leaders and managers who keep the job from being totally disastrous, so as long as you're working their shifts, it's not that bad.

Cons

Rude customers Faulty equipment - our computers crash a few times a day - we're on the hold with our help desk every few hours at least Pumps that never work properly Cheapest company I've ever worked for - they're constantly trying to squeeze every dollar possible out of their employees and clients Completely disorganized Don't expect to get paid for all the hours you work - they're constantly trying to stiff you hours here and there, read your pay stubs properly so they don't screw you over! Incompetent head office - they're completely oblivious to all the problems going Zero communication - they will put in place changes without telling you and then reprimand you for not following the "new" rules Total disrespect - you are not an employee, you are a slave; they bully you into submission and use threats to get their way

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
