The hiring process went very smoothly and it wasnt tedious or time consuming at all. I was able to start the same day and the expected workload was very manageable.

I would give 0 stars if I could. This place seems like a catch when it comes to work but once you start your basically back in the jail system. No talking while you work, walk to & from break in silence, eyes on your work, one 10 min break, no smiles, no greeting coworkers, cant ask too many questions. They try to put fear in you by telling the mystery supervisor (you never get to meet any actual supervisors only managers) is watching you everyday all day via cameras. Its such a weird environment. But I guess its ok for quick work if your waiting on another job but dont make plans

WARNING: Do NOT work for this company internally. They treat internal employees like garbage. Get ready for weekly emails from upper management telling everyone what a horrible job they are doing as motivation. Also, if you are not ready to give 100% of your time/life to this company and be available 24/7, do not work here. They do not let you use your own PTO. The owner loves to force their religious, personal, and political views on their employees and this person should not be running a company. Starting salary is barely a living wage and the weekly bonuses/commission are a joke
