Report
I worked here some years ago as a teen. My father got me the job. Within the last year he passed away. This place cut his life insurance roughly a month after he got sick and DID NOT notify him or anyone in thr family. Not long after he passed and that's how we found out. So no way to pay for funeral etc. When inquired about it the women who deals with that department basically just said "oh whoops". After 20+ years if service (and not one raise may I mention, my father was one of many under appriciated) the owner who my father had known personally for many more years than he worked for him did

Worst job I have ever had in my life. Weak management that allows itself to be pushed around by departmental clerks. Zero training. Pathetic place to be in.

Wonderful company and workspace. The cafeteria here is so good and the ladies working there are super friendly. Always impressed with the prints we order from here. Even the parties they throw are a blast!

To play on the review above me, unprofessional, poor quality re: services and extremely rude. No feedback from the CEO or his staff. No idea how they stay in business. Wish I had a photo of the horrible work they did for me.
