Pros

Take home vehicle with a gas card is a huge perk. Annual raises could be better but at least you get something.

Cons

Passive aggressiveness is unnecessarily rampant.

Pros

Best place to learn the industry and field. Taught me everything I know.

Cons

It's hard to work for a team that is all for themselves. Also, the operations manager tells you, "I'll backstab anyone to get myself ahead" in 1 on 1 meetings.

I am glad to hear that you have learned a lot during your time here, we have so many talented people who are open to sharing their knowledge with others who want to learn. I am surprised to hear that a leader here would say they got ahead by backstabbing. I know this works in many other companies but not here at Bay. We know that how we get the work done is just as important as (if not more) than what work we get done. We promote those who put others first and are humble. I will look into this and appreciate you bringing in to my attention. If you have any additional details please contact me directly. Thank you.
