I worked in the maintenance shop of the Muncy PA location. I learned that if you arent friend with people who get moved in from other locations on start up. Just quit. After being threatened and defending myself, I found myself having to see a counselor and the guy who threw a hammer at me being promoted. Must be nice to live with the boss.
