Pros

Talented, smart, professional peers. Opportunities to do work beyond your pay grade for the experience.

Cons

Back in the summer all employees were compelled to use a will of their FTO to improve the companies bottom line. This was ostensibly to help the company fulfill their promise of no layoffs in the coming economic downturn. Now the holidays are coming up, layoffs are taking place and everyone has to decide if they will only use PTO and have less time to spend with their families or decide that despite stagnant wages, decreased benefits, increased cost of living, and the threat of losing their job, they can afford to take overdraw and take unpaid time off.

Pros

Decent benefits. Occasionally fed. Personal laptop

Cons

False promises of growth and career opportunities. Terrible onboarding process, no sense of culture or structure. Impossible 13 hr shifts with zero support from other departments if you work nights. Blatant favoritism among those that do receive promotions. Poor communication among departments. Upper management takes credit when things go well but denies any involvement in decisions that lead to poor outcomes. No accountability when issues arise. Lots of band aid solutions. Safety is not a core value. No clear direction on how to promote career development from management.

Pros

Good perks: 401k match of 6% and ESPP

Cons

Bad managers everywhere. Most managers became managers because the last one left company. Most new managers don’t even get manager training and work with old micromanagement style with little scope for creativity. Moral is very low in company. Most employees work for 50 hours/week but still don’t get rewarded with Individual Performance Bonus!
