Pros

It was once a fabulous place to grow, Now we are unsure.

Cons

Unless your in management there is no 40 hr work week, Thirty five or less is full time now, who knows what 2017 will bring, Our leaders are not forthcoming in all aspects of the future. They say leave if you are not happy here. Sad😓

Pros

Direct supervisors are extremely knowledgeable. Fellow employees are kind and compassionate. Holiday pay, PTO (although you must earn it month to month), dental/vision, 401k.

Cons

Plans to stop Shift Differential, Health Insurance cost is a joke for part timers (as well as PTO). ***Redefining full time as 30-35 hours a week (I assume benefit cuts are next on the list). As someone else has also said, there is absolutely no work/life balance. If you sign on, you are welcoming the stress of carrying the world on your shoulders, with not much gratitude from management, you are ants to them. Sales goals are ridiculous, someone needs to do some newer & more accurate market research on this before goals are assigned to people (in my opinion they are astronomical so that the company doesn't have to pay out). It seems there are 2 major people that are the root of the problems for this company (I'm sure there are more, these are just the primary 2). One coming out of NJ with a background in cutting cost at the employees expense (or just cutting the employee), not the companies. The other being a power crazed female with a Napoleon complex (don't you ever expect a thank you from this woman.. I also don't suggest looking into her beady eyes). The company purchased a new system 1-2 years ago that was to make it easier for day to day function, like transactions, balances, restricting cards...etc. Prior to this system we used a primitive DOS like program, & about 10 others for day to day function. In losing the one program we gained about 5 more, and if you were a senior specialist or manager this went up by at least 10. I feel as though the time and effort I spent caring deeply about my customers and working as efficiently as possible each day was wasted, which was over 5 years.
