"Don't!Unless you are great at brown nosing and work politics, this place is not for you. Hard work means nothing, training to move up in the company There is none.... and if there is any it's given to those previously stated. The company itself MAY not be all that bad but the communication between corporate and a regular hourly employee are non-existent. If corporate roles out a new policy you're going to have to look into it and managers don't allow you the time to do such things."
