Pros

They didn’t give bonuses for 2020 so I’m totally slacking off until I get a new job. F them

Cons

They didn’t give anyone a bonus. Wtf?!?!? We worked hard through the pandemic, launched a new product, and did two acquisitions. The company made a large profit (allegedly), but then they said zero bonuses because we didn’t make pre-pandemic-set budget. Are they f’ing kidding. I quit, but I ain’t leaving for a long time. I’ll get my money back. Don’t come to work here... who the f pays 0 bonuses?!?!?!?

Pros

Coffee , pay , and people that have been here before the new tyranny started

Cons

I have worked here for over 12 years, and this used to be a place where people wanted to work, near and far ....and only now, with the new management in place within the last four years, has this place Fallen to a new low. they have nothing but unrealistic expectations for engineers , safety, and operations . they believe in keeping everyone under their thumb, and leading by pointing a finger, and telling you what to do, then rather invigorating and empowering someone. the new management can't see out past their chest because it's stuck out so far, and until they decide to move on and ruin another perfectly good company this place will never be the same and will only keep going in the direction it is now. do not waste your time working here

Pros

good benefits for families,

Cons

no matter your work ethics there is no recognition. Very sad that HR makes you feel like you cannot speak to them, when bringing issues its not so much the repercussions, the out casting feels worst. Not so trusting. Very interesting to be in HR and your husband is an employee. Work for HR and your brother is an employee. Work for HR and your classmate is eligible for promotion after leaving the company and then returning. It may be legal, but with the HR relationship how well can a problem be solved if your family members gets in trouble and your coworker is involved in the investigation. INTERESTING. Manger has absolutely no leadership skills, and it shows. So much potential and so little leadership or true HR intervention. Seems to be a plant agreement about the HR lynch mob.
