Pros

-New hires get floating holidays upon hire -Friendly coworkers/team members who try to make the best of the situation -Decent 401k matching -Honestly, it is difficult to find anything else

Cons

-Endless lists of tasks that you will never finish but are randomly asked updates for -Management and employee turnover extremely high. My direct manager, 2nd level, 3rd, and beyond all changed within a year. -Understaffed. Don't expect to take PTO when you'd like -Pay raises are laughable for the amount of work asked of you -Don't expect to meet other teams or your coworkers. They pitch 9/80 work schedule as a positive but everyone just works through lunch and it kills the culture in the workplace -Job description/responsibilities constantly changed about 2-3 times a year -Budgets for training and employee growth runout in the first couple months each year. Don't expect to grow your skill set, go to any conventions, or attend any trainings. -Education reimbursement budget was non-existent and will not be available unless you apply in January/February -Changed from PTO + sick time to PTO only system. Tried to swing it as a positive and that "employees now have more PTO." They cut all the sick days and increased PTO by like 1-2 days overall. -Will try to lowball employees during salary negotiations. I know someone who got paid almost 20k less than everyone else because he didn't question the first number they gave him. - Little care for general health and safety of employees. Watched a manager ask an assembler to keep working when they were clearly in distress and having a mental breakdown. COVID was absolutely rampant here and they did not care. All they care is if there is going to be an OSHA reportable event or not. - I can give you more reasons, but if you read this far and are still contemplating working there... Good luck to you. You are going to need it.
