Pros

Sometimes get small discounts on meals and products.

Cons

The entire job. Works you to the bone, alone, after minimal training or even helping you get used to things. Very High expectations for an individual worker, left alone on their shift, made to feel bad if they ask for help but will also require you to help others regardless of how busy and alone your station is. Will make you work back to back late night and early morning shifts, find your own coverage, and force you to get your own even in emergency. Will fire you for just about anything after proving yourself worthy.

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.
