Horrible operations management

Pros

Overall, the benefits are the only positives in working here. ESPP, 401k match, cheap health insurance, paid education.

Cons

Such a lazy culture! Operations managers are clueless, inexperienced and amateur. They love going to their meetings closed door but once on the floor they can never really execute at a high level. Chaotic management and unwilling to invest in quality personnel. Very little communication between depts and even within depts. So many slackers that get away with multiple offenses, it's embarrassing! Those that actually work hard and carry a heavier workload are never fully compensated or promoted. Operations managers only favor those that kisses their you know what! Wasteful spending all around, including too many useless employees. They don't provide the necessary resources to do your job.

Pros

People are generally friendly and willing to help.

Cons

As company growing bigger, it's harder to communicate between groups/departments. There are always some personality crash, which is not uncommon in a company with any "human being". However it's up to the manager/director to resolve the issue, objectively and firmly. Unfortunately, in my case, the upper manager is afraid to take stand due his/hers lacking of technical confidence. All the projects got delayed due to the disagreement between departments.
