Pros

A few hard workers. Insurance is good but way too expensive.

Cons

If your a good worker they over load you while you watch others sitting or sleeping on the job. Too many changes happening at once and no instructions on the changes. The good workers all leave because of management or lack of it and being overworked and under appreciated. Have a hard time getting people in the door and turn them off as soon as they get here. Your manager might not be in the same state as you this causes huge communication issues. They do not know your product line and don't really care about what your doing but give you huge tasks without any help. If you do get promoted which is rare here they do not back fill your position quickly and force you to do both while getting a small raise for it. Don't expect a good raise annually. The director is all about flow charts and doing busy work that just stresses people out and doesn't get results. You see engineering working there butts off and then you see one guy sleeping all of the time at his desk reaping a paycheck from the backs of others.

Pros

Expensive, but good health plan

Cons

What started as just a very unorganized company quickly became typical corporate America with the new management. Very top heavy with management. Non-management staff is very understaffed and stressed. If you are a competent worker, your work flow will never end and you will be required to take on the workload of many others. Typical corporate with meeting after meeting and no follow up for action items. Zero accountability, especially for management. Management- from the President level on down- harasses, belittles and berates both employees and each other. Management is pitted against each other and promotes same behavior amongst employees. To be clear- this applies to what is left of the old management regime and the new management team. HR is simply there to protect management. Anything confided to HR is not kept confidential- from personal situations to workplace related issues. Management creates a gossipy and finger pointing environment. Management and HR contribute to and promote the gossip. There were and still are a handful of competent, hardworking employees. Most have left due to the toxic environment, lack of raises, respect and overall work/life balance is horrible. Management expects a minimum of 50+ hours a week. Workload for the hard workers is simply impossible to complete in an 8 hour time frame. On the positive note- there once was a great group of people working together in a fun environment. Even with the lack of organization, lack of raises, lack of growth. That environment made up for the negatives. New management very harsh with their management of employees' time off, time in, vacation time. Taking a vacation is more stressful than not. Micro management in all areas with the exception of the areas that do require micro management. If an astute stranger would come in to this office, they would observe many with little to no duties. Just meeting attendance and lots of standing around talking. And the other half visibly stressed with the high expectations and uneven distribution of workloads. What started as a very high note ended with extreme disappointment. I stayed with the hopes things would change. Alas, this was not the case. As much progress as was made with systems, it did and could not make up for the toxic environment which became progressively worse. I wouldn't normally write reviews, but I will for this place if it saves another individual from wasting precious years of their career before finally realizing NOTHING WILL CHANGE & throwing in the towel.

Pros

My team members were great people.

Cons

Upper mgmt & HR are highly toxic. They do not care about their employees and do not receive feedback. HR is not trustworthy, and sends mixed messages if you get a response from them on an issue at all. Huge pay disparities from top to bottom, and only favorites have opportunity to advance. They continue to pay bonuses to upper management without taking care of their employees to even survive inflation.
