Pros

They give a pension plan.. that's all they have to offer, the rest of the company and CEO are just filled with greed and don't care about customers or associates !!

They don't care about customers at all, they care only about money, they are a greedy company who wants us to pretty much steal from customers by sneaking eye ware protection plans on their orders and telling them they NEED it,, let the customer make that decesion !! shame on them !! And the don't care abot Their Associates at all, pay it awful for what we make for the company.. !!
