Pros

1. Company has a good reputation 2. Good work areas with large cubicles 3. Competitive salaries and benefits 4. Cost of living is low in Memphis 5. They advocate work life balance but it really depends on your manager 6. Discounts on many things all over the city and elsewhere

Cons

1. Too much upper management. Too many layers of management 2. Not many career paths. They don't move people around very much. You can get stuck in the same department for years and years. 3. Lower and middle managers are on average not very competent leaders 4. Politics politics politics 5. Very bureaucratic. You have to go through so much red tape to get anything done. There is a convoluted process for everything. 6. The various operating companies and regions function as different companies sometimes with their own rules and processes 7. Those awful acronyms that don't make any sense 8. Performance reviews that are very subjective and the manager's word is final

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
