Pros

There really weren't pros for me.

Cons

Literally the worst job I ever had. They asked me to cover my own travel expenses (to be reimbursed ) , which were greater than the amount of my paycheck. Never mind my own bills. They suggested I get a personal credit card to cover expenses. Um, no. You are a corporation, you can afford to send me on the travel you require. The guy in my office who loved to tell sexist/ harrassing jokes was PROMOTED. WORST HR I have ever dealt with, allowing the toxic culture to flourish. They explained to me that it's ok to laugh off the inappropriate behavior from Co workers. To me, it isn't. The health insurance costs more if you are overweight, which they don't mention at interview. They bring in a company to weigh and measure employees, not privately, those deemed outside the perfect BMI pay more.

Pros

The weekly pay. That's all.

Cons

Horrible work environment. The Supervisor didn't even know how to ship. It was a joke that she was the supervisor of International Shipping. Training? There is none. Except for sitting with a very very bitter person who will make you feel very uncomfortable. Upper management consists of a bunch of politicians who promise a lot and deliver nothing. It is the Have and the Have Nots environment and they let you know which one you are pretty quickly.

Pros

Excellent place to have a fun career with this company in Buffalo, NY branch. Very OLD - business (in gold refining), PEOPLE, facility, equipment... Stubborn and stupid management team, most of them do not have formal college education...Technical director may have got his high school diploma through continue education...Business VP pretends he graduated from Harvard business school but evidently not... You have to be non-intelligent enough to work there...

Cons

Hostile working environment. HR lady is unprofessional and intimidating.
