Svantaggi
Because of its old, uninformed, rigid thinking about mental health treatments, the company discriminate against people with who are coping with mental health issues. They fired my stepson who suffers from extreme anxiety. This company bought some Agway stores in New Hampshire where my son worked. It was the only job where he found a good environment and work that he could do. That is not easy for him - he also has reading and writing disabilities and suffers from issues with self-esteem. The customers liked him, and his co-workers liked him and the feelings were mutual. Kent bought the businesses, drug tested everybody and fired him for something he NEVER did while working. THC was something that he used to medicate and calm his overly anxious mind. When he was at work, the work in that warehouse was somehow compatible for him. They destroyed him. He has not been able find compatible work since. It was totally unnecessary and, frankly, ignorant on behalf of Kent Corporation.
