So you get double time but at the cost of PTO. They actually encourage you to work the holidays. I was lied to in my interview about holidays being paid. They actually make you use your PTO time for the holidays. I’ve never worked for such a strict work place in my life. And they don't allow you to use what you earn for the first 90 days. If you call off sick or have a family emergency, it's an unexcused absence and it will count against you because you may not have the PTO to cover it. If you're even so much as 1 minute late, it will count against you. They have a point system and it adds up quick. Bronson has very strict policies regarding time and attendance.
